Vivien is particularly interested in helping people cope with cognitive deficits and emotional difficulties arising after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Her doctoral thesis was on “The incidence and outcomes of mild TBI”.

Vivien offers client-centered therapy as she believes every person is different. Whilst some people want a space to reflect and process issues, others prefer practical strategies to manage their difficulties. The first appointment provides an opportunity to clarify areas of difficulties and recommendations of the best approaches for their unique needs.
