Biography
Nell's research integrates the latest insights into the brain’s pathophysiological changes associated with chronic pain to develop innovative eHealth solutions. Recently, she has focused on creating Pain and Emotion Therapy, an internet-delivered psychological treatment based on dialectical behaviour therapy. After testing this intervention in a randomised controlled trial, Nell is now leading a large scale national trial to further develop and implement Pain and Emotion Therapy, in clinical practice. Before transitioning to research and psychology, Nell spent 15 years in the corporate sector, working in strategic program development and implementation for global tech companies including LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Yahoo. She now combines her technology expertise with her passion for psychology and research to develop evidence-based interventions that enhance chronic pain treatment and improve patient outcomes.
