Amanda McGarry
Senior Lecturer, Counselling and Psychotherapy
Alongside teaching on various counselling modules at the University, I also work as a counsellor in private practice. In addition, I am currently completing my PhD research exploring gendered power dynamics within the therapeutic relationship.
I teach on a variety of counselling modules within the department.
My research interests include the exploration of suicide within the person-centred approach and gendered power dynamics within the therapeutic relationship.
