About
Seonaid Cleare is a researcher whose work sits at the vital intersection of digital mental health, emotion regulation, and LGBTQ+ youth wellbeing. Her primary research areas focus on developing and evaluating innovative, accessible interventions for young people experiencing self-harm ideation and emotional dysregulation. Cleare’s most notable contribution is her pioneering work with Purrble, a socially assistive robot co-designed with children to provide in situ emotion regulation support. Her 2024 protocol paper, which has already garnered 3 citations, outlines a randomised controlled trial testing Purrble’s effectiveness among LGBTQ+ youth—a population at heightened risk for self-harm. This work is significant for its novel, non-clinical approach to delivering real-time emotional support outside traditional therapy settings. Cleare’s research demonstrates a deep commitment to co-design and community-engaged methods, ensuring that interventions are not only evidence-based but also acceptable and relevant to the young people they aim to help. By bridging robotics, psychology, and public health, she is shaping a new frontier in youth mental health support.
