Independent jewellery maker and workshop facilitator and a postgraduate research student

My PhD thesis builds on frameworks of distributed creativity, Jungian psychology and G. Simondon’s philosophy of individuation exploring the possible within this dynamic system.

Other research interests include
- critical social psychology
- authoritarianism
- social movements
- history of psychology
- concept development

I have over 20 years of experience working at the intersection of social work/care and the creative sector. I offer coaching sessions, in which I draw on person-centred approach, fundamentals of jungian psychology and creativity coaching.
