Trosolwg

Rwy'n gyd-gyfarwyddwr yr MSc mewn Seicoleg Iechyd. Er fy mod i'n seicolegydd clinigol trwy hyfforddi, rydw i ar hyn o bryd yn cynnal ymchwil sy'n rhychwantu seicoleg glinigol ac iechyd. Yn benodol, mae gen i ddiddordeb ym mecanweithiau biolegol a seicogymdeithasol adweithedd straen acíwt mewn myfyrwyr coleg iach, myfyrwyr isel eu hysbryd, a chleifion â syndrom blinder cronig (CFS). Ar hyn o bryd rydym yn archwilio a all ansawdd perthynas gymedroli effaith cefnogaeth bartner rhamantus ar adweithedd straen acíwt (secretiad cortisol a hunan-adrodd). Rydym yn edrych ar emosiwn a fynegir (EE) ac arddull ymlyniad fel dangosyddion ansawdd perthynas.

Graddiais gyda fy BA mewn Bioleg Ddynol ac MA mewn Seicoleg o Brifysgol Stanford yn 2000. Derbyniais fy PhD mewn seicoleg glinigol gan UCLA yn 2008 a chwblheais fy interniaeth a gwaith ôl-ddoethurol yn Ysgol Feddygaeth Feinberg Prifysgol Gogledd-orllewinol. Gweithiais fel athro cynorthwyol, yna athro cyswllt ym Mhrifysgol Roosevelt rhwng 2009 a 2016. O 2015-2016 bûm yn gyfarwyddwr y rhaglen Doethur Seicoleg ym Mhrifysgol Roosevelt. Hefyd, cynhaliais bractis seicoleg glinigol breifat fach rhwng 2009-2016. Dechreuais fel Darlithydd ym Mhrifysgol Manceinion yn yr Adran Seicoleg ac Iechyd Meddwl, Canolfan Seicoleg Iechyd Manceinion ym mis Mai 2016. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n dysgu ar y lefelau israddedig ac ôl-raddedig.

Modiwlau a Addysgir

PS-M24 Research Project

The research module will involve constructing and executing a substantial research project, usually conducted in connection to an abnormal and clinical research topic/theme. Previous research projects have spanned various applicable clinical settings linked to NHS trusts, mental health charities, forensic units and topics generated by academics based within the department of psychology. We also encourage students who come to the program with connections as a consequence of previous professional experience, to undertake projects that are linked to interests they have already established.
PS-M27 Psychosis

This module will examine competing and complimentary theories of the aetiology of psychoses and biological and psychosocial treatment options: ¿ Biological models of schizophrenia ¿ Anti-psychiatry and psychosis ¿ Cognitive and social models of delusions and hallucinations ¿ Biological and psychosocial treatments of psychosis
PS-M56 Affective Disorders and Trauma

This module will examine the development, maintenance and treatment of affective disorders (anxiety and depression) along with related trauma responses such as post-traumatic stress disorder. The module will consider these presentations from biological/genetic, social/familial, and psychological explanatory frameworks. It will also critically review established and emergent theory-driven interventions.
