My experience includes...
I am trained as a coach with Jenny MacKewn https://jennymackewn.com/ In her own words "I work systemically, identifying issues inside people, in personal relationships, in work situations and in the wider community and natural world. My aim is to play my part in healing disconnection in unlocking creative flow and in helping reconnect divides between self and others, ourselves and the natural world, and between ourselves and deeper meaning and purpose."
I am a Positve Intelligence Coach. See the PQ tab for more information about this. https://www.positiveintelligence.com
I am one of the Co founders of Journeyman UK https://journeymanuk.org/ a national charity providing community based volunteer group mentoring for teenage young men, with annual large scale events, camps, parenting courses and mentoring trainings. This is the UK version of boystomen.org/about-us/
I Have co designed and delivered JourneymanUK mentoring trainings, local group curriculum, and 'Understanding Young Men' online courses. I am experienced as a Senior Mentor, Group Coordinator, camp creator and leader and Rites of Passage leader.
I have been a JourneymanUK trustee, Central Coordinator, a mentor coach, local group leader and teenage mentor. I have received mentoring coaching from Boys to Men USA, who gifted their program to the UK as JourneymanUK.
I am a co founder and Director of Pathways to Ventures CIC https://www.pathwaystoventures.org/ along with Liz Terry who I am married to. We are currently working in partnership with https://globalenvironments.org/
I am involved with The Mankind Project https://mankindprojectuki.org/ (an international men's rites of passage with peer support groups non profit organisation). I have attended many of their trainings over the last 15 years, including leadership, Facilitation Skills, Process Work and running a local group toolkit. I have attended many weekend workshops with them. I have staffed their Rites of Passage event numerous times. I founded the Stroud MKP local group which is a thriving local chapter.
I am a qualified Homoeopath, trained in counselling and I am experienced in delivering Community Arts projects.
Over the last few decades I have attended a wide variety of personal development, mindfulness, and therapeutic courses. I also keep myself up to date with current psychological research with trauma informed practice.
I have attended several courses in managing low mood and anxiety for my own benefit. I have an embodied movement practice called Shintaido and attended courses in mindfulness. I have practiced meditation and mindfulness for three decades.

A special mention goes to Liz Terry my wife, a truly remarkable woman and profoundly valued part of my life for 30 years. Her CV sort of indicates the kind of person she is.
