Research summary
My research focuses on understanding mechanisms underpinning certain mental disorders in young people, with the goal of improving psychological treatments, particularly cognitive behaviour therapy. I am especially interested in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related conditions, such as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). I am also interested in transdiagnostic processes, and understanding how conditions such as OCD and BDD relate to other disorders. My research involves a range of methodologies, encompassing behavioural genetics, experimental psychology, epidemiology and clinical trials.
