About
I am a Counselling Psychologist practitioner and lecturer in Psychotherapy. I have supervised doctoral students since 2017.I offer primary and secondary research supervision for Doctoral students. My research interest lies in the study of psychotherapy processes and how these can be enhanced to facilitate impact on client outcomes. Research topics I study include client agency, goal-oriented practices, client preferences for therapy, relational depth and mutuality, and pluralism in research and practice. I conduct both qualitative and quantitative research. /Di Malta, G., Cooper, M., Vos, J., & van der Veer, K. (2020).
