The Centre for Research in Social and Psychological Transformation (CREST) is a hub of internationally-recognised research activity in the psychological therapies field.
The focus of CREST is on interventions and methods that support enhancements in psychological and social wellbeing, as well as processes at the interface between the psychological and social domains.
The work of the research centre is organised around several, clearly-identified research themes in which members of CREST have achieved, or are close to achieving, international recognition.
Existential therapy operates on the belief that inner conflict within a person is due to that individual's confrontation with the givens of existence.
