Our new resident Consulting Psychologist now has his own regular column: Ask the Psychologist. If you’re looking for feedback on a relationship, worried about a friend or family member, or just curious about something you’ve always wanted to ask a psychologist, Dr Carver is here to listen and offer you some thoughts.
We’d like to extend a very warm welcome to Dr Joseph M Carver, who joins us as the site’s Consulting Clinical Psychologist and author of his own regular feature. Many readers will know Dr Carver from his popular articles on relationships, as well as from his frequent contributions in the blog section of the site. Now we’ve decided the time has come for Dr Carver to have a section of his own, a dedicated section where you can…Ask the Psychologist!
