Clinical interests: relationship development; skills for focusing attention; processing traumatic events; developing self-compassion; understanding emotions and emotional development; understanding being human.

Theoretical interests: how our early development influences us now; developing insight into ourselves and pathways to change if we wish; developing therapeutic styles through training.

Approach to supervision: supportive and didactic; supervision with a new supervisor is a way to stretch our theoretical understanding and develop new ways to intervene; helping trainees define their professional selves.
