Women’s Health

We focus on key areas such as sexual wellbeing, UTI management and reproductive health through patient centred interventions. Our research addresses gender research gaps, especially in female pain experiences and under researched conditions such as vaginismus and chronic UTI, aiming to reduce disparities and improve access to tailored care.

Sexual Wellbeing

We examine sexual health in the context of recurring UTIs and other chronic health conditions, creating interventions to support psychoeducation, self-compassion, and healthy partner communication.

Urinary Health

This stream of our research looks at innovative patient-centred, psychologically-informed approaches for managing Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), addressing the broader implications for women’s health and quality of life.

Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections

We assess the clinical and psychosocial impacts of complex and recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs). Through our patient-centred research, we aim to increase recognition of validity of the patient experience in urology, reducing symptom burden and improving access to care.
