After completing my undergraduate degree in PPP (Psychology and Philosophy) here in Oxford I returned in 2019 as a Professor of Developmental Clinical Psychology in the Departments of Experimental Psychology and Psychiatry. In between I completed my professional Doctorate in Clinical psychology (DClinPsy) and PhD at University College London, before working in clinical research for many years at the University of Reading. My work focuses on improving outcomes from and access to psychological interventions for children and young people, with a particular focus on anxiety disorders in preadolescent children.

My research mainly focuses on the development, maintenance, prevention and treatment of anxiety disorders in children and young people. My team apply a broad range of methods (including experimental, longitudinal, clinical trial and qualitative methods and systematic reviews) with children, young people and families in both community and clinical settings, with the ultimate aim of improving access to and outcomes from psychological treatments for these common conditions.
