Overview
I am a clinical psychologist and academic with a keen interest in compassionate oriented approaches to interventions for individuals, groups and communities. I have worked across a range of settings with diverse populations using compassion focused therapy and compassionate mind training approaches in clinical interventions, education, training, and supervision. I am particularly interested in applying compassion-based approaches, and CFT in particular, in cultivating compassionate relationships and environments such as working with carers and loved ones, communities, and organisations.
