I am a Reader in Health Psychology in the Centre for Improving Health-Related Quality of Life (CIHRQoL), in the School of Psychology at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB).
My research interests are broadly in the assessment and management of psychological wellbeing and quality of life in chronic conditions. In particular I am interested in psychological adjustment and quality of life in cancer and palliative and end of life care populations, including intervention development (e.g. music therapy, mindfulness, ACT) and validation and implementation of outcome measures. I am also interested in public health approaches to palliative and end of life care.
