Lorraine Crawley is a Clinical Psychology faculty member at the University of Limerick's Department of Psychology. Her work integrates clinical practice with research focused on compassion-focused therapy (CFT), acquired brain injury (ABI), and psychosocial adjustment. She explores systemic barriers in clinical psychology through interpretive phenomenological analysis and investigates therapeutic interventions for ABI patients.
Her research emphasizes Compassion Focused Therapy applications in clinical supervision and reflective practice, as well as socio-cultural factors affecting psychological outcomes post-ABI. Notable themes include loneliness, social identity dynamics, and gender-related workplace barriers.
Recent publications evaluate CFT group interventions for ABI patients and analyze social identity resources in adjustment to neurological trauma. Her work bridges qualitative clinical research with practical therapeutic frameworks.
