Media

I am regularly invited by media and major broadcasting companies to provide expert comment and psychological insights on issues relating to technology and internet use. I have also worked with national broadcasters (e.g., BBC, Sky News) and communicational agencies to help inform media campaigns and educational provision for the general public.

Are you a journalist or someone who works for a media organisation needing expert insights into topics such as screen-time, social media, online behaviour and communication? Please email me and I will be happy to help if I can
