Further Reading
This page is for those who want to do some of their own research on psychotherapy, and take a look on what I base my intervention model on so they can make the informed choice that is right for them. This list is not comprehensive (there’s always more research!) and at times can be quite technical, but can provide a good jumping off point for those wanting more detail than those I provide on my ‘What is Psychotherapy?‘ page.
