Journal Editorial Board member:
My research is strongly influenced by concepts developed in the areas of counselling and psychotherapy, community psychology and systemic theory. On the basis of the understanding of individuals within their social worlds and in their contextualised and socially constructed subjectivity, I am focusing with my research on promoting individual and collective health and well-being by applying theoretical concepts such as empowerment, participation, social networks and social support, social and economic justice and salutogenesis. Research projects I have undertaken as practitioner (systemic therapist) and research fellow at the German Youth Institute (DJI) have been located in the areas of child guidance and family counselling, health psychology, psychiatry, media pedagogic and social work.
My current research activities are centred around intimate relationships and counselling and psychotherapy research. I am especially interested in the impact of digital technologies on intimate relationships ('digital relatiing'), the social construction of infidelity, in a face-to-face and online context, with its impact on couple and family relationships, and therapeutic work with infidelity and issues related to the use of digital technologies. As a trained systemic couple and family psychotherapist I am also interested in examining couple and family therapy practice with a diverse range of research methodologies, including innovative qualiative mehtods. I was member of the Research Committee of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) (2012-2016) und Co-Director of the ‘Intimate Relationships’ research programme within the OU’s Centre for Citizenship, Identity and Governance (CCIG). As trainer and presenter, I am experienced in engaging with members of the public, counsellling organisations and practitioners to disseminate research.
