Olivia is a research psychologist in the Suicidal Behaviour Research Laboratory (SBRL) at the University of Glasgow. Broadly, Olivia’s research interests lie in using biological and psychological methods to investigate self-harm and suicidal behaviour. Her work explores some of the factors that may be involved in someone moving from thinking about self-harm to acting on those thoughts, with a special focus on emotional and physical pain sensitivity. Olivia is currently working on a project investigating how childhood adversity may relate to suicidal thoughts and behaviours in adulthood.
