My research focuses on how wellbeing and psychological health are linked with relationship processes. I'm particularly interested in how people manage times of transition, like becoming a parent or entering higher education. My recent work looks at how emerging representations of connection with the baby and self as parent affect psychological health in pregnancy and beyond. My current work investigates the factors that affect transition to university.
