About my Research
To date my focus has been centred on clinical practice and training but I have since been making the exciting shift to getting more involved in research. Currently my main body of work is the preparation toward my PhD, where I will be exploring the lived experience of adolescent children in having a parent diagnosed with a chronic illness. This work aligns with my interest in developmental and health psychology.
