Associate Professor of Counselling
Biography
Dr Frederick Low, a practising counselling psychologist with over 20 years of experience, has a firm belief in the scientist-practitioner model. Frederick’s core research interests revolve around interdisciplinary collaborations in schools, school counselling, and counselling for vulnerable groups (i.e. persons with special needs, individuals affected by child abuse and family violence), and refugees’ education and mental well-being. Frederick is primarily involved in qualitative research but is keen on mixed-methods projects as well.
