Research

At Master's level, my research focused on stalking, specifically how psychotherapists support female targets. This work was first published in Therapy Today, the flagship magazine of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and continues to inform my ongoing writing on stalking, coercive and controlling behaviours, and legal abuse.
