BA(Hons)
DPhil student
I am currently a DPhil student supervised by Professor Daniel Freeman and Dr Felicity Waite.
My research focusses on identifying the best psychological techniques to help patients with persecutory delusions successfully re-engage with social situations through the use of immersive virtual reality.
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Philosophy at Oxford.
