01
I deliver keynotes that unpack how technology is reshaping the ways people think, behave, and relate. Grounded in my own framework of Applied Psychodynamics and more than two decades of clinical experience, my talks cut through hype to illuminate the real emotional and relational shifts happening beneath the surface of digital life. Audiences come away with sharper insight, practical understanding, and a renewed capacity to make sense of complexity in a fast-changing world.

02
I support organisations that want to lead and work with greater psychological intelligence. My consultation blends clinical depth with strategic clarity, helping teams recognise the emotional dynamics, blind spots, and relational patterns that shape culture, communication, and performance. Whether you’re navigating technological change or strengthening leadership, I help people think more clearly and collaborate with less friction and more purpose.

My writing and media work explore the intersection of psychology, technology, and modern culture. Across TV, radio, podcasts, and print, I aim to bring depth, clarity, and a psychodynamic lens to the issues shaping contemporary life. I’m the author of several books — including The Psychodynamics of Social Networking, Keep Your Cool, and The Little Book of Calm and former psychology of culture columnist for GQ. Read my deep dives on my Substack newsletter, Depth Psychology in the Digital Age.
