Reader in Psychology at the University of Manchester
As a university-based health psychologist, my primary research interests are in the field of understanding and managing chronic illness, particularly chronic fatigue syndrome. I am also interested in interpersonal factors in health and illness, and in physical health in those with mental health problems. I have designed and carried out interventions studies, where I have been involved in the training and supervision of therapists and researchers. As well as teaching 2nd year tutorial practicals and supervising 3rd year projects, I teach a specialist course on illness cognition to third year undergraduates. I teach psychosomatics and supervise dissertations on a Masters Course in Clinical & Health Psychology and currently supervise 4 PhD students. I am an Associate Editor of the British Journal of Health Psychology.
