My name is Jodie Burchell and I am currently undertaking my PhD in Clinical Psychology at the Australian National University in Canberra. I have completed a Bachelor of Science (Psychology) with Honours, as well as a Bachelor of Science, specialising in evolution, ecology and genetics, also at the ANU.
My research interests include romantic relationships, negative emotions, evolutionary theory, attachment and couple's therapy. My clinical interests are in treating adult populations, specifically in addressing relationship issues and counselling couples.
