About
I am a clinical psychologist with a passion for research, teaching and communication. I am researching how the ability to regulate autonomic-physiological arousal influences emotion regulation, behaviour and mental wellbeing, in children and young people. Before academia, I worked as a clinical psychologist in private and public health services, involved in diagnostic assessment and psychological interventions.
