I am a child and adolescent psychotherapist and have worked in the industry for the last 20 years. I have conducted research exploring the therapeutic experiences of young men and I am currently examining innovative teaching methods for psychotherapists, and how best to prepare them for initial practice. I also have strong interest in all facets of child and adolescent mental health and welcome inquiries from potential research students in this area.
