Esther Roodenburg PhD BMus BA DipEd PGDipCounsP

After initial secondary teaching experience, followed by raising 5 children with her husband John, Esther’s many years as a community-based psychologist was then further explored within her own more qualitative PhD, into individual differences in ways of thinking. She joined John in the University setting, teaching counselling and clinical psychology to Educational and

Developmental graduate students. Her teaching included sharing her experiences of a broad case-based range of therapeutic approaches, with a practical application of well-developed theory-based psychological understandings. These are evident in Psychological Digs and also in a forthcoming book: A Psychologists Casebook, Ark House, 2022.
