I am also undertaking a part time PhD here at the University of Derby exploring self-compassion and eating disorders.
In 1998 I studied Psychology at Durham University and was a member of Van Mildert College. In 2002 I started working at the Eating Disorders Research Unit at the Institute of Psychiatry (London) with Professor Janet Treasure. I joined the Mental Health Research Unit in 2004. Initially, I worked in the unit as a research assistant. The focus of this work was on shame, self-criticism and positive affect. Since 2005 I have worked as the Research and Research Development Manager for Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
