I’m the Ritblat Professor of Mindfulness and Psychological Science at the University of Oxford and the Principal Investigator for the research programme within the Department of Psychiatry.
My work focuses on depression and evidence-based approaches to depression. In particular, my research examines how mindfulness and mindfulness-based programs can prevent depression and enhance human potential across the lifespan.
“We urgently need to progress our psychological understanding of recurrent depression, enhance the effectiveness of our treatments and make treatments accessible.“
