Research Fellow in Environmental Psychology, University of Surrey

I am a research fellow in environmental psychology at The University of Surrey who specialises in the benefits of natural environments to our wellbeing, particularly gardens. I also have a particular interest in what people perceive to be natural in the world around them. I am currently working on a project examining how people engaged with nature during the COVID-19 pandemic. I am also a qualified garden designer, garden writer and member of the Garden Media Guild.
