Anne Ferrey

I am a Researcher in Health Psychology, working with Professor Lucy Yardley's Psychology and Behaviour Change group. The group uses digital interventions to support the self-management of health and behaviour change aimed at improving health.Currently, we are working with a team at the  University of Southampton to develop and evaluate the RECON programme (Reducing and preventing Cognitive impairment iN older age groups).

My research interests generally focus on the interaction between health and mental health. This includes the impact of health conditions on anxiety and depression as well as the converse: when poor mental health leads to physical self-harm or eating disorders. Current interests include the impact of vision loss on mental health, as well as the acceptability of new technological interventions that help to improve vision.
