Welcome to my website. Here's a little about me!  

 

After working for a while in my late teens in a large south London psychiatric hospital, I went on to complete a BSc in Psychology (Cardiff University), an MSc in Occupational Psychology (Goldsmiths, University of London), an MSc and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (University of Sydney), and a PhD in Personality Psychology from King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience

​

In addition to my formal studies, I've participated in other interesting learning activities. For example, I was personally trained by Professor Paul Ekman to detect emotional leakage from micro-expressions on people's faces in his lab at the University of California, San Francisco. I've also completed a parapsychology course (think: ESP, precognition, paranormal beliefs) at the University of Edinburgh's Koestler Parapsychology Unit. 

​

During my career as a psychologist and university professor, I've maintained a constant fascination with understanding people's personalities. This fascination is fuelled by my work in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia across a range of diverse settings—from clinical practice in the National Health Service to management consultancy with Swiss and US investment banks, lecturing on MBA programs, experimental research, and individual therapy and coaching. All these experiences have given me broad insights into people and their behaviour.

 

After recently completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Creative Writing at the University of York, I'm drawing on my experience to write psychological fiction.
