Dr Angeliki Bogosian

Overview

I am a Reader in Health Psychology. My research investigates how interoception, the perception and interpretation of signals from within the body, contributes to psychological wellbeing and adaptation in neurological conditions, and how these mechanisms can inform the development of more effective psychological interventions.

My work sits at the intersection of health psychology, neuroscience, and digital health. I am particularly interested in Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, and in mindfulness- and acceptance-based approaches to supporting people living with long-term neurological conditions.

I am an HCPC-registered Health Psychologist, a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society, and a registered Applied Psychology Practice Supervisor. I am also trained in mindfulness practice through Bangor University.

Research interests

My research focuses on how individuals and families adjust when affected by a long-term health condition, especially multiple sclerosis (MS). I am also involved in developing and evaluating mindfulness interventions to improve adjustment in people with long-term conditions.

Research methods I have used include: qualitative methods (thematic analysis/ grounded theory); cognitive interviewing; questionnaire development and psychometric validation; longitudinal quantitative methods (multilevel modeling); single case experimental design; systematic review; randomised control trial; neuro-imaging.
