Profile Summary

I have completed a PhD looking at medically unexplained/persistent physical symptoms (irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia) and emotional suppression. I have also worked on systematic reviews for chronic headache and I am currently working on research in people with depression. In particular my research has focused on intervention development. I have four years experience teaching research methods and statistics for psychology to undergraduates and postgraduates. In this teaching role I supervised 30 student small research projects a year, consulting on the design, analysis, interpretation and written report. I have designed and analysed research for my PhD and research positions using a range of different methodologies (both quantitative and qualitative), with a particular interest in statistical methods.
