What Is This Study About?

I'm conducting a study that explores women's experience of burnout during Lockdown as part of my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology (DCPsych) at the NSPC (New School of Psychotherapy & Counselling), validated by Middlesex University. The study has been awarded ethical approval by the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling and Middlesex University.

The research findings will be presented in workshops and published via various channels so that others can benefit from new knowledge and insights about burnout.
