I have always been interested in the mind. How do two people have similar experiences and yet are affected in different ways. I volunteered in Leavesden asylum, ran a Social Action Group at A level college, volunteered as a Samaritan . I followed on and trained as a teacher, a psychotherapist and have a doctorate in psychoanalysis in order to understand the human condition. I built up my own company from a bedsit to a successful business and have met some fascinating people along the way.

I have spent all my life understanding how people encounter events, which are life changing. It takes a certain psychology to get through the uncertainty, tragedy and turmoil of life. But the stories that move me and are fascinating are the ordinary people with extraordinary life stories.
