Kate Tchanturia

[2] Tchanturia has a particular interest in women's mental health and has pioneered the PEACE pathway[3] for autism and eating disorder comorbidity.

She relocated to London, United Kingdom in 1997 and was accredited as a chartered clinical psychologist (2001) and later awarded fellowship of the British Psychological Society in 2014.

She was later appointed a Lecturer in Mental Health Studies and Eating Disorders at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience in 2004.

Tchanturia's research primarily concerns the cognitive and socio-emotional aspects of eating disorders, implementing positive psychology in clinical practice.

After relocating to the United Kingdom, Tchanturia worked as a Clinical Research Fellow at Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London from 1998 to 2003.

The novel pathway was developed using the Institute for Healthcare's Model of Improvement methodology, using an iterative Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) format to introduce change and to co-produce the work with people with lived experience, carers and clinicians.

[2] Based on findings from their qualitative studies that mapped out the needs for the three stakeholders,[12] Tchanturia and colleagues collaboratively engaged people with lived experience, carers, and clinicians from the National Eating Disorder Service to develop the PEACE clinical pathway.
