Dr. Lynda Russell is a Lecturer in Clinical Psychology (Mental Health & Wellbeing) at the University of Glasgow, combining academic roles with NHS clinical work. She qualified as a clinical psychologist in 2011, maintaining dual professional commitments that facilitate NHS-academic collaborations.
Her research focuses on addiction in marginalized groups, particularly mothers with substance use disorders and child welfare dynamics. Key interests include grief/loss, service accessibility, and qualitative methodologies like Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to amplify underrepresented voices. Recent work examines child removal experiences among addicted mothers and addiction workers' awareness of family risks.
Publications (2022-2025) explore gendered aspects of addiction, service staff perspectives, and temporal factors in research participation. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges clinical practice and policy improvement.
Dr. Russell's work emphasizes service-user centered research, aiming to inform systemic changes in healthcare delivery and child protection frameworks.
