PhD researcher at the University of York🎓. Interested in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty, catastrophising and eating disorders.
Really excited to have had the opportunity to write this article !
IU is one of my main research areas so I really enjoyed writing about this paper 😊

Preschoolers who find uncertainty hard to handle may be more prone to anxiety later in life, but it’s not that simple.
New research explores how intolerance of uncertainty at age 4 links to anxiety, depression & behaviour problems up to age 10.

Other updates: I am now a second year PhD student (scary) and I have finished analysing my qualitative data for my eating disorders sample.
Thankyou to anyone who took part - I feel like I have learnt alot about both thematic analysis and the experiences of those with disordered eating !

Just conducted my first Lived experience interview with an individual who struggles with disordered eating.
Feeling very lucky to be able to use my funding to produce research that represents those with eating disorders 😊
Hopefully my research will be able to make a difference in some small way!

Whilst I'm on a roll posting to Bluesky, I'd like to share a recent pre-print that's now under review! We looked at how people with eating disorders, a gastric disorder, or neither disorder experience sensations from their gastrointestinal system (gastric interoception). 1/⬇️
