Research

My research examines emotion experience and regulation in common mental health problems, using a combination of cognitive-experimental, neuroimaging and psychophysiological methods. The eventual goal of this work is to help develop novel emotion regulation interventions to supplement existing therapeutic strategies. I work four days a week at the CBU under the supervision of Tim Dalgleish and in collaboration with other members of the emotion research group. I am also an honorary lecturer at the Sub Department of Clinical Health Psychology at University College London, where I supervise the research dissertations of trainee clinical psychologists.

Clinical Practice

I am also a qualified clinical psychologist. I work one day a week in London in an out-patients adult mental health setting, practicing cognitive behavioural therapy and cognitive analytic therapy. I am particularly interested in developing effective ways of working with emotion regulation difficulties in clients with personality and mood disorders.

Current Studies

  • The consequences of different forms of emotion regulation in depression, post traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, and borderline personality disorder
  • Effects of emotional suppression when processing traumatic material
  • Accuracy of self-focused attention to mind and body in anxiety and depression
  • The impact of mindfulness meditation techniques on response to emotional material
  • Pilotting the use of DBT skills as procedural exits in cognitive analytic therapy
  • The contribution of body-state feedback to the emotional and decision-making symptoms of depression
  • An fMRI investigation of the neural substrate of thought suppression
  • An fMRI investigation of the neural representation of basic emotions
  • Empirical evaluation of Damasio's somatic marker hypothesis
