Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom Kingston University Full time

We are looking for a dedicated and innovative Research Fellow to join our Nuffield Foundation-funded project, ‘A Digital Lives Framework for Counsellors and Psychotherapists.’ This research examines how digital life influences the mental health of children and adolescents and translates these insights into practical frameworks for therapeutic practice. The research Fellow will:

- Conduct and manage research activities, including distributing questionnaires, conducting interviews, and analysing data.
- Contribute to the development of the Digital Lives Framework and an accredited CPD training programme for counselling professionals.
- Produce impactful research outputs to guide professional practices, inform policy, and enhance training resources.

This role offers an exciting opportunity for an early career researcher to work at the intersection of mental health, digital technology, and applied research, helping to develop resources that enable counsellors and psychotherapists to support young people navigating risky and harmful digital experiences.
