I have been running men’s groups since 1987 and am a psychotherapist as well as an author and now calls myself a psychohistorian. I am committed to bridging the gap between psychological and political thinking, promoting a depth psychology perspective of issues that affect our public life very deeply such as identity and emotions, fear and vulnerability, but about which political commentators currently lack the means to properly to address. I’m an Honorary Research Associate at University College London working on a VR experiment for healing childhood attachments. I live between London and the wilds of SW France where I saw and care for trees.
