Professor Glenn Waller (University of Warwick, United Kingdom, formerly University of Sheffield) is an internationally recognised clinical psychologist and researcher specialising in evidence-based psychological treatment, eating disorders and cognitive-behavioural therapy. His research examines how therapist beliefs, emotions and behaviours affect treatment delivery and outcomes. He is particularly recognised for his work on therapist drift, treatment fidelity, clinical competence and metacompetence, including how clinicians can deliver evidence-based treatment both faithfully and flexibly in routine practice.

​

He led the international team that developed CBT-T, a 10-session cognitive-behavioural therapy for adults with non-underweight eating disorders, and is a co-developer of CBT-AN-20, a focused 20-session treatment for adults with anorexia nervosa. His research has informed NICE clinical guidelines, NHS commissioning, national workforce training and the international implementation of evidence-based treatment.

Professor Waller is visiting La Trobe through its La Trobe International Fellowship Program. Hosted by Professor Leah Brennan and the Body Image, Eating and Weight Clinical Research Team, the fellowship supports research collaboration, clinical training, stakeholder engagement and researcher development across La Trobe’s Melbourne and Albury-Wodonga campuses. The collaboration is guided by a shared goal: ensuring that people with eating disorders receive effective, evidence-based treatment when and where they need it.
