Clinical Training and Experience
I completed my Clinical Psychology training and PhD in March 2011 at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia. My PhD project was supervised by Associate Professor Michelle Moulds. My PhD investigated the nature and role of intrusive autobiographical memories in the maintenance of depression, and explored the overlap between intrusive memories in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression.
Following my training, I worked as a Clinical Psychologist at the Clinical Research Unit for Anxiety and Depression (CRUfAD), St. Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, Australia. In this role, I conducted research on the efficacy and effectiveness of internet-delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for anxiety and depressive disorders. I also was responsible for the psychological treatment of adults with anxiety and depressive disorders via the internet and face-to-face.
