After practising medicine (mostly in palliative care) for over 33 years, since 2015 I have pursued my interest in academia. Having originally been supervised by Jane Speedy for my Narrative Inquiry EdD at The Graduate School of Education, it is creative-relational inquiry that inspires me. I have participated in writing retreats, and mark, examine and supervise students taking Masters and Doctorates at the New School of Counselling and Psychotherapy (NSPC) in London.
