Our research team studies the change process in psychotherapy, addressing a number of research questions using a range of research methods. We are interested in the relation of

  • client characteristics
  • therapist characteristics
  • features of the therapist-client relationship
  • properties of the psychological intervention itself

to both the process of a psychological intervention and its eventual outcome. Through our research we are seeking to improve the efficacy and acceptability of psychological interventions to those seeking help for mental health problems.
