Staff profile

Career

I am a Professor in Psychology and the Research Group Lead for  Developmental Science at Durham. I'm also the Co-Director of the Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities, a £9.6m investment by Wellcome in interdisciplinary research on mental health and health inequalities. 

From 2012 to 2022 I was a member of Hearing the Voice, an interdisciplinary project that explored the topic of voice-hearing (or auditory verbal hallucinations). Joining originally as a postdoctoral researcher, I was one of six co-applicants for Hearing the Voice's second Wellcome award in 2015, and in 2020 I became Associate Director of the project (working alongside PI Charles Fernyhough and Co-Director Angela Woods). The project is internationally recognised for its interdisciplinary approach and contribution to psychosis research, which produced over 200 outputs. In 2019 we launched Understanding Voices, the world's largest web resource for supporting people with distressing voices. 

I was the co-founder and co-chair of the Early Career Hallucinations Research (ECHR) group, a network of over 270 ECRs in 27 countries conducting research on hallucinations and related topics. In 2024 I became Scientific Chair of its counterpart network for senior researchers, the International Consortium on Hallucinations Research.  In 2023 my book Presence: The Strange Science of the Unseen Other won the British Psychological Society Book Award for Popular Science. 

Prior to working at Durham I completed my PhD in Psychology at the University of Edinburgh, and worked as a Research Co-ordinator for Lime Trees Child & Adolescent Mental Health team in the NHS in York. This included working on several prohects relating to health and cognition in autism. 

Research

My research is broadly focused on mental health and neurodiversity. This includes work on psychosis and autism primarily, but has also involved research on inner speech, mental imagery, executive functioning, categorisation, and perception. My most recent research has concerned "felt presence": the sensation that someone is present without any sensory cues. Such experiences occur in psychosis, Parkinson's, epilepy, bereavement, survival situations, and around the boundaries of sleep.
