Sarah is a Trainee Clinical Psychologist in her final year of the PsychD programme at the University of Surrey. This involves working part-time in the NHS on clinical placements and conducting research for her thesis. She has experience working with a range of mental health difficulties across the lifespan. For her doctoral research project, Sarah completed a randomised control trial to explore the effectiveness of a two-week online compassion-focused imagery intervention to improve veterinarian mental wellbeing. Sarah’s interest in compassion started in 2018 when she led a research project to explore whether shame can attenuate the efficacy of compassionate imagery.
