Biography
I am a Chartered Developmental Psychologist with expertise in the field of Autism/Neurodiversity. My current research focuses on understanding factors that impact on wellbeing among autistic people across the lifespan. I am particularly interested in interpersonal relationships and victimisation, social identity and stigma, and increasing accessibility for neurodivergent people in higher education. I use innovative, mixed methods approaches to address research questions, and have a passion for co-design and participatory working.
