SupervisionTheses completed under my supervision emanate from my research program that aims to (a) identify psychosocial factors that enhance or hinder well-being across the lifespan and (b) develop and evaluate interventions and preventative measures that facilitate sustained and enhanced psychological adjustment. The program includes students enrolled in the Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology, Master of Psychology, Master of Psychology/PhD and PhD. It is designed to inform psychology teaching, practice and research within the specialist areas of counselling psychology or educational and developmental psychology that exist within the Faculty of Education and the Krongold Centre. In keeping with these specialisms, student research projects have addressed sub-components of the larger multi-faceted research question related to psychological adjustment either in the general community or in parents and their children who are exceptional.
Please email me if you are interested in participating in my research program. I am a Monash University accredited supervisor.
