My ultimate goal is to promote behavioural change by building on the understanding of people’s lived experiences. My research activities fall into three main domains including:

• Health psychology, area in which I study patients’ psychosocial and medical experiences of living with a non-communicable chronic disease, as well as perceived barriers and facilitators to disease self-management;
• Exercise psychology, domain in which I study the role of social support regarding adherence to exercise;
• Sport psychology, field in which I explore psychosocial variables related to athletes’ development such as the role of the coach as a mentor regarding morality-related issues.
