Emma Aitken

Hi, I’m Emma and I’m a Research Assistant working on the Go-OSCA trial. We are evaluating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a new online cognitive therapy for social anxiety in adolescents, called OSCA, compared to standard NHS treatment.

Prior to this role, I worked at the University of Surrey on a project investigating motor impairments in children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder/Dyspraxia. I also previously worked at Oxford on the iCATS project, investigating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a parent-led, online treatment for child anxiety.

I have a Master’s degree in Developmental Psychology and Psychopathology from King’s College London and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of York.
