Dr Elisa Lewis

I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at London South Bank University. I joined LSBU in 2017 following my PhD at the Royal Veterinary College and Birkbeck, University of London. My research focuses on mental health and wellbeing in the general population and specific occupational groups. I work closely with the Royal Veterinary College on research with veterinary professionals and students, and also reserach mental health in professional actors and acting students.

My research focuses on mental health and wellbeing in both general population and specific occupational groups, using qualitative and quantitative methods. During my PhD, I examined the mental health of students aiming for careers associated with an elevated risk of suicide, including veterinary, medical, pharmacy, dentistry, and law students. I continue to collaborate closely with colleagues at the Royal Veterinary College on research into the mental health of veterinarians, veterinary nurses, and veterinary students. In addition, I conduct research on professional actors and acting students, exploring the psychological demands of performance-based careers and their impact on wellbeing.
