Biography

I've worked for over 10 years in research, starting with the Born in Bradford research project at the Bradford Institute for Health Research, before undertaking my PhD in psychotherapy and counselling at the University of Leeds. My doctoral research explored how therapists use their implicit inner experiencing, including mental imagery, fleeting memories and daydreams (also known as reverie) to connect and empathise with clients. After completing my PhD, I worked on a realist study at the University of Leeds to develop and evaluate a web-based, interactive quality dashboard for national clinical audit data, and I'm now working at the University of Bradford on a further realist project. This research aims to determine how and in what contexts multifactorial falls risk assessment and tailored falls prevention interventions are used as intended on a routine basis in acute hospitals in the NHS in England.

Research

With a background in psychotherapy & counselling, my research interests focus on investigating people's cognitive and emotional responses to healthcare interventions, whether these derive from human intersubjective interactions (as in counselling) or are digitally-based. I'm also fascinated by the use of empathy & imagination in qualitative research, related to the psychotherapeutic notion of 'reverie'.
