Emily Maple

Emily Maple is a clinical psychology registrar with Griffith Youth Forensic Service and a PhD candidate at Griffith University. Her doctoral research explores how to enhance police responses to domestic and family violence by examining the influence of multiple systems — including individual officer factors, organisational culture, and the broader criminal justice system. Emily's other research interests include adolescent dating violence, neurodevelopmental disorders, and personality disorders in the context of sexual and non-sexual offending. Clinically, Emily works with justice-involved youth to identify and respond to their risks and needs through targeted psychotherapy and active collaboration with families and key stakeholders. Her approach integrates cognitive-behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapy frameworks, underpinned by a strong understanding of attachment and child and adolescent development.
