I am interested in the factors that influence eating behaviour and weight gain or weight loss, particularly in children. I have expertise in longitudinal research and in using observational and experimental designs. I am particularly interested in the impact of parental feeding practices on children’s food preferences and in the role of family mealtimes. I am interested in the development of eating behaviour and weight in Low and Middle Income Countries and am currently collaborating with partners in Kenya and Zambia. I have expertise in using digital interventions to support child eating behaviour and have co-developed the 'Child Feeding Guide' wesbite and training resource for parents and professionals and 'Vegetable Maths Masters' app for children and teachers to support healthy eating behaviour.
I am a Chartered Psychologist, a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society.
