I’m a writer and a life coach. British by birth, I've traveled widely and lived in many countries - Madagascar, Peru, India, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland amongst others. I have a doctoral degree in English Literature from Oxford University. In 1986 I moved to the US. I spent most of my teaching career as a professor of literature at Curry College and have also taught at Boston University and Bay Path University. I now have my own coaching practice.

I have published twelve books so far and given nearly 100 radio/media interviews.

If interested in coaching, please schedule a complimentary half hour ZOOM session in which we can meet and see if what I offer is a good match for you.


How It Works

Coaching is especially helpful when moving through change points in life, when looking for clarity about relationships and career, or when wanting to take creative work to new levels.

All sessions are one hour long and via ZOOM at a mutually agreeable time. Most people begin by meeting once a week and taper off as things progress.

Experience

I’ve been doing this work my whole life, with nearly forty years of experience working with people aged 17 and up. I’m a professor emeritus of Literature at Curry College, and a Faculty Member in the Department of Narrative Medicine at Bay Path University. In addition to teaching Literature, I have run many courses on writing for self-exploration and counseled students and adults.

Stories We Need to Know:

Reading Your Life Path in Literature

This works uncovers the six developmental milestones of personal development, as revealed in 3,000 years of the world’s finest literature. The same six milestones appear, always in the same order, always serving the same function. I argue that this shows that this is a deep structure of the psyche, something people have known intuitively for thousands of years - and therefore it can be a road map for how we can live our best lives.

Write Your Memoir:

The Soul Work of Telling Your Life Story

Writing your memoir will change the way you see your life. The trouble is that most people don’t know how to stay with the task or sort out what’s important. Based on the highly successful workshops taught at the Blue Hills Writing Institute, this book will guide you through the process - and help you discover the riches within you that you’ve probably forgotten about.

The Six Archetypes of Love

Most of us are confused by love, and falling in love can only add to the upset. So - who are you when you’re in love? Which archetype will you choose to live? These six archetypes are the developmental mlestones described in ‘Stories We Need to Know’, explained in terms of what it is we need to know about loving others. Knowing about them can lead us to find the core of a love that is constantly maturing and growing.

Prince, Frogs and Ugly Sisters;

The Grimm Brothers’ Healing Tales

The Grimm brothers’ tales are not just disposable items for small children at bedtime. Many contain deep wisdom that can tell us how to live our best lives if we read them carefully. This book explores this topic—and it’s very different from the ‘happily ever after’ myth that Disney has given us.

The Path of Synchronicity

Sometimes things just happen, dovetailing effortlessly. What does this mean for how we encounter our world? What does it tell us when we strive valiantly, to no result? Making sense of this, which some people simply call ‘luck’ is an important step if we are to live in harmony with our world, and tune into the finest aspects of who we are.

Spiritual Hunger

Our world is fun of people who are hungry for a meaningful existence, but who find only the junk-food of commercialism. In this book we’ll discover that there’s plenty of good nutritious food for our souls - if we take the opportunity to look for it. If you seek a life of meaning and wonder, then this is the book for you.
