Personal profile

Description of research and teaching

My core areas of interest are mental health, public health, sexual health, and gender and health. My work examines the interface of mental health and wellbeing in adolescents and young adults. I am particularly interested in recovery, mental wellbeing, eating disorders, neuropsychiatric disorders (ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, Tourette's syndrome), body image, sexual health, and gender and health. I have a strong interest in clinical and population epidemiology and gender issues. I have published several non-fiction books.

I offer various courses for health professionals on mental health, sexual health, research methods, and academic writing.
