Alessio Bellato

I am a Lecturer in Children and Young People's Mental Health at the University of Southampton and an Honorary Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Nottingham Malaysia. I am also Joint Editor of the Journal of Child Psychiatry and Psychology Advances and I co-lead the South East Asia Mental Health Consortium (SEAMHC).

My research is focused on understanding how the ability to regulate physiological arousal influences emotion regulation, behaviour and mental wellbeing, in children and young people. ​​Before academia, I worked in private and public health services, responsible for diagnostic assessment and planning/delivering psychological interventions for children and young people.
