Suzanne Byrne serves as the IAPT Adult CBT Therapy Programmes Director within the Psychology department. Her academic work focuses on the psychological and physiological impacts of COVID-19, particularly in relation to cognitive behavioral therapy interventions for post-COVID conditions and related psychological sequelae.
Dr. Byrne's research spans several critical areas in post-pandemic healthcare, with particular emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy applications for Post-COVID-19 Syndrome and related conditions. Her work explores the intersection of respiratory symptoms like dyspnea with psychological factors including sleep disturbances and post-traumatic stress. A significant portion of her research investigates how cognitive therapy approaches can address the complex physical and mental health challenges emerging from severe COVID-19 cases, particularly those requiring intensive care. Her fingerprint analysis shows strong expertise in Cognitive Therapy (85%), Dyspnea (66%), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (66%).
Her publication record demonstrates a clear trajectory toward understanding the multidimensional nature of post-COVID recovery, blending respiratory medicine with psychological interventions. The research reveals how cognitive behavioral approaches can be adapted to address the unique challenges of post-viral syndromes, particularly in managing persistent symptoms like breathlessness and anxiety. Her collaborative work on the PHOSP-COVID Study represents one of the most comprehensive investigations into long-term effects of COVID-19 across multiple physiological and psychological domains.
Dr. Byrne actively contributes to major collaborative research initiatives including the PHOSP-COVID Study and ISARIC4C Investigators network, working alongside hundreds of researchers across multiple institutions to understand the long-term impacts of the pandemic. Her work connects clinical psychology with respiratory medicine, creating interdisciplinary approaches to complex post-viral syndromes.
