Nadine Murray

Nadine Murray is a UHI Inverness MRes Psychology student whose work is mainly focussed on mental health, spirituality, and religion.  She is currently researching the existential struggles people face when bereaved by suicide.

Nadine will be interviewing members of the James Support Group which is a charity based in and around Inverness that supports people who have been bereaved by suicide.  She is using this research to highlight the prevalence of suicide within the Highlands in order to investigate the coping mechanisms people use when they have lost a loved one to suicide and whether aspects of spirituality/religion can provide psychological support to those grieving.

Nadine has been attending UHI Inverness since 2016 when she started a part-time degree in psychology.  She graduated in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science with First Class in Psychology.  Her dissertation project explored Evangelical Christians perspectives of schizophrenia.

Nadine is also currently co-authoring a qualitative met-synthesis project with renowned researchers - Dr Maxinne Connolly-Panagopoulos, Joshua Cathcart, Graham Reid, and Dr Christopher Lloyd - which is the first UK-based psychology of religion research group.
