Her core research area is mental health, inequalities and related policies, with a special interest in service users lived experience and perspective.

Her book, Recovery, Mental Health and Inequality (Routledge, 2017), was shortlisted for BSA Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness Book Prize.
