Hello! I am Abbie, I am 33-year-old, and I am just starting my 3rd year of my PhD at the University of Bath, UK.
I finished my psychology BSc at the University of Warwick in 2007. For a few years, I had various jobs, mainly working in mental health, but was unsure about where to take my career or what I wanted to be “when I grew up”. In 2013 I looked into MSc courses and realised that Health Psychology was the one that matched my interests. In 2014 I graduated from the University of the West of England with my Health Psychology MSc, and started a job as a clinical studies officer in an NHS mental health trust. I started my PhD in October 2017.
My PhD explores social development in adolescents who have chronic pain.
