Bella Magner-Parsons

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Psychology at the University of Exeter and a researcher within the NHS, contributing to the NIHR Mental Health Translational Research Mission.

My research interests include self-harm, suicide prevention, depression, psychological interventions, mental health services research, and the social and structural determinants of mental health. My work spans clinical trials, case series, and applied mental health research, with a particular interest in understanding factors associated with mental health outcomes and treatment response.

I completed my PhD in Psychology at the University of Exeter, exploring structural risk and protective factors for nonsuicidal self-harm.
