Over the past 15 years Prof Kay-Lambkin has worked in a clinical research capacity with people experiencing a range of mental health and alcohol and other drug use problems. These include: psychotic disorders, depression, personality disorders and anxiety.
She has specific experience in the use of cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques for people with co-occurring mental health and alcohol/other drug problems.
Prof Kay-Lambkin’s main research activity has focussed on the development and clinical trials of computer and technologically-delivered treatments for people with mental health and substance use problems. Her aim is to bring high quality, evidence-based treatment for multiple health problems directly to the person – to ensure that the right person receives the right intervention at the right time.
