My fascination with psychology began from a deep-rooted curiosity about the human mind and a genuine desire to understand people’s experiences more fully. Over time, this interest grew into a commitment to supporting others through life’s challenges with compassion, insight, and evidence-based care. I am especially interested in understanding the experience of living with long-term conditions and the emotional, practical, and identity-related challenges that can come with them. My work also values resilience building — helping people recognise their strengths, develop helpful coping tools, and find ways to move through difficulties with greater confidence and self-understanding. In my view, health psychology also includes an awareness of consumption psychology, particularly in a world that often tells us that more is always better. I believe it is important to explore how these messages shape our wellbeing, habits, expectations, and sense of self.
