Our Research

<p style="text-align: left;">Our research aims to enhance our understanding of the neuropsychology of brain injury. We use this knowledge to inform treatment and neurorehabilitation.</p>

Enhancing Knowledge

<p>We seek to develop evidence-based approaches grounded in contextual behavioural science to support recovery after brain injury.</p>

Innovative Interventions

<p>Our lab aims to advance Contextual Behavioural Sciences, understand key mechanisms of change, how to measure them, and their cultural responsivity.</p>

Contextual Behaviour Sciences 

Our five-session treatment protocol for mild traumatic brain injury based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACTion mTBI) was feasible to deliver in concussion services and showed encouraging results that indicate its potential effectiveness.

Neurorecovery and Contextual Sciences (NRCS) Lab

I need to create a research lab website. My lab is called the Neurorecovery and Contextual Sciences (NRCS) lab from Te Herenga Waka Victoria University. Here's a summary of my research The NRCS Lab investigates the intersection of psychological factors, treatment interventions, and recovery in neurological conditions. The NRCS Lab also explores transdiagnostic psychological processes—their measurement, role in treatment, and impact on well-being—to enhance recovery and improve clinical outcomes. Grounded in contextual behavioural science, the NRCS Lab develops evidence-based approaches to support adaptive coping and long-term resilience in neurorecovery.
