Research Interests:
Daphne’s research centers on qualitative approaches in counselling psychology, with a strong focus on interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Her work explores how individuals construct meaning around severe emotional and behavioural difficulties, particularly self-harm, obsessionality, eating disorders (especially anorexia nervosa), stillbirth grief, alcohol use disorder, and the intersection of race, gender, and mental health. She is particularly interested in the lived experiences of marginalized groups, such as Black women with anorexia, and how systemic factors like racism and stigma influence psychological well-being and interpersonal relationships.
Recent Research Trends:
Her recent publications reveal a consistent use of qualitative methodologies to investigate complex, emotionally laden experiences. Key themes include the role of romantic relationships in anorexia recovery, the impact of cultural identity on mental health, strategies for reducing stigma around alcohol use, and meaning-making in trauma and loss. Her work often highlights the tension between personal identity, societal expectations, and psychological distress, advocating for more nuanced and culturally sensitive clinical practices.
