My research focuses on the integration of philosophy, neuroscience, neuroimaging and psychology aiming to understand and resolve challenging conditions in mental health such as suicide, extreme psychopathology, and other challenges in early childhood 0-6. I do focus on how to develop and use nonclinical interventions in community, schools, families and public bodies to prevent mental disorders at an early stage. I do deliver professional training; parenting education and I develop prevention and intervention programs in clinical and educational settings in Cyprus and the UK.
