My research focuses on understanding how perfectionism—an aspect of our personality characterised by extreme and irrational requirements for perfection—affects individuals across various contexts, including education and sport.

I also study how the pressure to be perfect can emerge from those around us, such as coaches, teachers, and managers. My work in this area has focused on measuring this type of pressure and examining the consequences faced by individuals in highly perfectionistic environments.
