Clinical Psychology

Find out how our subject group teaches and conducts research on mental health across the lifespan.

Clinical Psychology is the application of psychological theories to understand, prevent and alleviate distress. We have special interests in mood and anxiety, psychosis, voices, trauma and abuse, substance use and addictions, prevention and interventions including psychological therapies. Mental health is considered across the lifespan: from child development, youth mental health and parenting, through common and severe mental health problems and their precursors and comorbidities in adulthood, to old age and dementia.
