Personal statement

I am a Research Associate in the Sleep Centre at University of Strathclyde, currently working on the ESTABLISH Trial – a project that focuses on co-producing an evidence-based insomnia intervention for people living with secondary breast cancer with key stakeholders. I joined the research team in January 2025.

Prior to this role, I completed my PhD at the Strathclyde Sleep Centre, where I developed and evaluated a cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) intervention for adolescents with co-morbid mental health difficulties. To do this, I conducted a Delphi study to develop the intervention. I then xamined the feasibility of implementing the intervention within 2 mental health services in Scotland. I conducted a process evaluation to identify the barriers and facilitators of implementation.
