Research
Alongside my therapeutic work, I conduct research at the University of Derby. My published study, “Like Something Supernatural in Your House”: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to Explore the Experiences and Psychological Challenges of Parents Raising Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (BMC Psychology, 2025), sheds light on the profound psychological challenges parents face, highlighting themes of uncertainty, emotional strain, and resilience. This research not only validates parents’ experiences but also informs the practical and compassionate strategies I bring into therapy and training.
