Psychology Research Interests

I am interested in the mental health of people suffering from chronic illnesses, specifically those with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). My PhD research is looking at the acceptability and efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy and ‘third-wave’ cognitive therapies with CHC patients, compared with psychopharmacological treatment.
