Areas of Academic & Research Interest
My primary research and academic interests lie at the intersection of compulsive sexual behaviour and relational health. Specifically, I am focused on the treatment of betrayal trauma within couples and the efficacy of integrative therapeutic models — combining CBT, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed (EMDR) approaches. Additionally, I am interested in clinical supervision standards and the development of structured training for practitioners specialising in sexual addiction and trauma recovery.
