Dr Rachel Hallett

About

My main areas of interest are health psychology (especially exercise) and music psychology. I completed my PhD in Psychology in 2015, which looked at whether music could help people stick to exercise programmes. I then spent a year working as a researcher in a consultancy specialising in designing, delivering and evaluating mentoring schemes, and joined Kingston & St. George's Joint Faculty as a postdoc in early 2016. I've been involved in projects including a Cochrane Review of exercise interventions for hip and knee osteoarthritis and an investigation of volunteering behaviour at parkrun. I'm also a tutor for The Open University, teaching core Psychology modules at Levels 1 and 3 (first year and final year undergraduate).
