About

Overview

Kirsten is a psychologist with a special interest in the prevention and treatment of inter-generational mental health difficulties. Her work has particularly focussed on the experiences of people diagnosed with personality disorder who may be survivors of complex trauma, and on parent-infant interventions in the perinatal period. She joined City in 2020, having previously held NIHR Doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowship positions at Queen Mary University of London and Imperial College London. She is currently leading an NIHR-funded randomised controlled trial of the video feedback intervention for positive parenting (VIPP) for parents with enduring difficulties in managing emotions and relationships, consistent with a personality disorder. Prior to this, her NIHR Postdoctoral Fellowship explored the interplay between personality disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, and evaluated outcomes and experiences of dialectical behaviour therapy and mentalization-based psychological therapies. She has also recently collaborated on a project evaluating the impact of maternal antenatal anxiety on child development, stress responsivity and epigenetics.
