Current research

I am currently working on the OPTIMA RCT trial. The goal of the Online Parent Training for the Initial Management of ADHD referrals (OPTIMA) is to provide support for families for 3 months during the period between referral acceptance and the first full clinical assessment. It focuses on supporting parents to better manage their children’s co-occurring behaviour problems.

Prior to this I completed my PhD exploring parenting stress and post migration stress in asylum seeking families.

I have expererience in teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels including developmental psychopathology and research methods.

Other responsibilities include several years leading the CiMH lab meetings and working with 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 doctoral college to support the doctoral college festival.
