Dr Daniel Michelson

Daniel Michelson is an academic clinical psychologist leading an international programme of research focused on the design and evaluation of psychosocial interventions to improve mental health for under-served children, young people and families. He also conducts research to develop scalable and sustainable implementation strategies for these interventions in schools, youth centres and other community settings. He has particular interests in brief (‘low-intensity’) psychotherapies, digital delivery platforms, and ‘task-sharing’ service models utilising peers and other non-specialists. His work uses a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, with a strong emphasis on participatory approaches that give voice to seldom-heard groups. He is an Honorary Consultant Clinical Psychologist in South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, UK, and holds visiting appointments with the University of Sussex (UK) and Sangath NGO (India).
