Current Research

What are your main areas of interest and research?

I am particularly interested in anxiety—especially high-functioning or so-called “managed” anxiety—and social anxiety.

 

I also specialise in Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), particularly in adults who were diagnosed late or remain undiagnosed. My research explores how these conditions show up in leadership, relationships, and daily functioning, often beneath the surface of high achievement.

 

Currently, I am conducting research at King’s College London investigating burnout in ADHD, further informing my evidence-based practice.

Very happy to share our paper 'Neurodiversity: Integrating evolutionary, philosophical, and sociocultural perspectives', co-authored with Nora M. Isacoff, PhD, Anne-Laure Le Cunff, PhD, Vishwanath Varma, Petra Kis-Herczegh, Seiara Imanova and Sarah Toner.

In this work, we propose a consilience-driven framework of neurodiversity that moves beyond a deficit-based model and brings together evolutionary, sociocultural, and philosophical perspectives. The goal is to broaden how neurodivergence is understood and integrated across research, policy, and inclusive practice.
