Personal profile

Biography

I completed an M.A. in Counselling Psychology (2006) and subsequently practiced in Canada, specialised in cognitive-behavioural therapy.  After later obtaining a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at McGill University (2015), I began a Research Fellowship and Visiting Lecturer position in 2015 in the Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge.  I then undertook a Junior Research Fellowship, followed by a British Heart Foundation Career Development Research Fellowship within the School of Clinical Medicine.  In 2018, I joined Macquarie University, was the director of Clinical Psychology (2019-2024), and am currently the Director of Education for the School of Psychological Sciences (2025-present).  I maintain professional registration as a Clinical Psychologist with the UK, Canada, and Australia (e.g., Health & Care Professions Council, Order of Psychologists of Quebec, and AHPRA, respectively), and am an AHPRA endorsed supervisor.

Teaching and Leadership

I am currently the Director of Education for the School, a member of the Human Sciences Researchs Ethics Sub-Committee, and teach at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in clinical psychology and health psychology.  Previously, I also taught in social psychology and research methods.  

Research interests

My research concerns applications of Clinical Psychology to health care settings, with a focus on stress, anxiety, and cardiovascular psychophysiology.  For example, one area focuses on understanding, predicting, and preventing vasovagal reactions.  Relatedly, I also have interests in blood donor health, recruitment, and retention. Additional areas of interest include anxiety disorders, BII-fears, disgust, as well as embodied cognition.
