Pablo Navarro is a PhD candidate from UQ School of Psychology who will present findings from two qualitative pilot studies investigating the contexts and motivations underpinning young people’s use of text-based counselling services and the factors that influence the effectiveness of clinical work on these modalities. The studies investigate the perspectives of young service users and e-Mental Health professionals who utilise these interventions. His work is part of a larger study that seeks to understand the variance in effectiveness observed in e-Mental Health interventions when compared with the adult literature, in an attempt to improve clinical knowledge, practice and theory in this area.
Pablo Navarro is a registered psychologist working in private practice and at Kids Helpline. Since 2016, he has been conducting research into the effectiveness of text-based counselling services for young people, as supported by the UQ School of Psychology and Kids Helpline.
