Emily is a Registered Psychologist, with a multidisciplinary approach to practice.

Buddhism weaves its threads through both Emily's professional life and personal outlook. The traditions influence her philosophy and her methodology; the Buddhist teachings inform her world view. In this way, she is an advocate for the integration of spiritual principles into the practice of psychology, and the ‘being a psychologist’. She strongly believes that this enables a more holistic view of wellbeing: towards ourselves, our clients, and within our profession. Emily is very passionate about the value creation –and potential– at the intersection of Buddhism and Psychology. Her professional and vocational pursuits are strongly aligned to this intersection

Emily is active in both the consulting and research communities

Emily looks forward to working collaboratively with the BPIG Committee to sustain and grow the offering of this Interest Group to BPIG Members, and welcoming new Members to the Group
