Research Interests
My research interests are in the aetiology, maintenance and management of insomnia disorder and the interaction between sleep and mental/physical health (particularly cancer populations). I have developed, delivered, and evaluated CBT-based behaviour change interventions for insomnia that have had significant impact across a range of diverse populations.
