This PhD investigates child-parent violence and abuse in Wales, a hidden and stigmatised problem lacking clear definitions and theoretical understanding. Through a scoping review and collaborative qualitative research, she will examine stakeholder perspectives and overlooked lived experiences, aiming to co-create knowledge that supports safer, more effective interventions for families.

This research examines mental health and help-seeking among neurodivergent young people. Northern Ireland data reveal substantially higher rates of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and self-harm, alongside greater online help-seeking. The research evaluates digital mental health support and works directly with young people to develop more accessible, neurodiversity-informed services and guidance.
