Research interests
My research and professional aims are to reduce the prevalence and burden of common mental health disorders, and reduce barriers to care.
There are three parts to this research. First, my work aims to better understand how everyday actions can affect our mental health. Second, my research aims to develop and evaluate new psychological treatment models. Third, my research aims to determine how preventative tools or treatments can be most safely and effectively deployed in everyday life or in routine clinical settings.
The scope of my work is both conceptual and pragmatic. My current research explores the behavioural and cognitive habits which drive either positive or negative mental health. This has implications for the structure of psychiatric diagnostic systems and models of psychopathology, prevention and treatment.
Pragmatic questions include how new treatment protocols which build on these habits, can be used in treatment protocols to facilitate recovery and wellbeing or in prevention protocols. I am also involved in projects concerned with developing new service models, and the development of standards and regulations for digital models of psychological care.
My roles include Executive Director of the Australian national MindSpot Clinic, www.mindspot.org.au, and Co-Director of the eCentreClinic research clinic, www.ecentreclinic.org. I currently serve on advisory groups to several organisations.
