Overview

I am a third year part-time PhD student in Psychology, at the University of Exeter, working under the supervision of Dr Lee Hogarth and Professor Huw Williams. My research aims to explore risk and protective pathways into non-suicidal self-injury, including exploring brief interventions. Alongside my PhD, I work privately as an academic mentor, and for the University of Exeter as a Postgraduate Teaching Associate (PTA).
