Dr Rachel Menzies is a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Research Fellow at the University of Sydney, where she completed her Honours, Masters and PhD degrees in psychology. Rachel published her first paper on death anxiety and its role in mental illness in Clinical Psychology Review as an undergraduate student. She followed this by convening a symposium on the topic at the 8th World Congress of Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies in Melbourne in 2016.
Her experimental work on fear of death and psychopathology has been published in several leading journals, and she can regularly be heard on national and international radio, popular podcasts and at relevant public events.
In 2021, Rachel won the national PhD Prize from the Australian Psychological Society for her work on death anxiety, its role in anxiety-related disorders, and its treatment. Rachel has published five books on the topic of existential issues. Her book “Mortals” was awarded national and international book prizes, including the 2023 American Psychological Association’s William James Book Award. In addition to her academic work, Rachel is a clinical psychologist and director of the Menzies Anxiety Centre, which she established to improve access to psychological treatment for death anxiety.
