M.Psych/D. Psych in Clinical Psychology
Research interests
I am Senior Lecturer here. My main commitment is to the M.Psych/D. Psych in Clinical/Health Psychology.
I teach mostly in the areas of adult problems, neuropsychology, and research methods. I also clinically supervise students and their research dissertations.
My major current research interests concern the deleterious effects of audiences on behaviour (as in, for example, stagefright or stuttering) and shyness/social phobia. I am a clinical psychologist by training and am interested in most types of adult problems especially anxiety and eating disorders. I am also interested in cognitive assessment.
