About the author

Lifelong (almost) therapist turned writer, author, observer of people, observer of myself…

Poet, philosopher (who isn’t?), lover of music, lover of mountains, lover of solitude (sometimes), lover of stories, believer in journeying (without needing to arrive), believer in being just who we are, believer in human kindliness...

I have written many journal articles and made contributions in different areas online and in professional journals… produced books on philosophy, meditation, mindfulness, even on ‘doing therapy’… and now I’ve turned to novels with the White Cat Books… fiction, semi-fiction, relationship in its widest sense, all with the therapist’s touch, a genre of reflective story-telling.

My muse is the Pyrenees Mountains, the home of our Retreat in France… where I can indulge a walking, musicking, creative mindfulness, listening to the rhythms and feeling the beat of Turangalîla, the thread of life.
