Here is a brief biography which will help you to get an image in your mind of who I am and what I can do for you.
I am Teacher, Writer and Speaker and a Relationship Education and Communication Specialist with over 20 years of experience in personal, professional and spiritual development study and work. I have a deep interest in the work of Rudolf Steiner and what he termed - 'Anthroposophy'; which simply means - The Study of Man (People). It is with this, and my other experiences that I base my work on to help and support people on their journey - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
I'm 54 years young and currently live in Sydney, Australia with my beautiful wife Arleen. We have a blended family of 6 children (29-16 years old) and I also have 3 cute grand-daughters (6, 4 and 3) and 2 God-daughters (16 and 13). I also live with my Mother-In-Law, Eileen - lovingly called 'Gran' by all who visit our home and share her wonderful cooking.
I am a qualified and experienced Psychophonetics Psychotherapist and Counsellor and also have my Work Place Assessment and Trainer Certificate (Cert 1V). My work is presented in Australia and internationally through speaking engagements, workshops and training programs and with one and one and couples coaching and counselling.
I was a wild Punk-Rocker during my teens and had a wild ride with drugs and alcohol for a few years. I travelled overseas from the UK into Europe at the age of nineteen and began to change and expand my outlook on life as I ventured into other more positive, interesting and fulfilling journeys of self-discovery and empowerment. I have lived and worked in Europe, Africa and Australia and worked with thousands of people from all walks of life; including, people living on the streets, in drug rehabilitation centres, in rural villages and farms, in big and small businesses and corporations, with children and staff in schools and at a village community orphanage called Botshabelo.
"I love to support, guide and positively challenge people to become even more conscious in their lives and to open up to their potential".
I have worked with men for over 20 years in men's groups and circles and for over a decade as a counsellor and psychotherapist. This work has now led me to set up The Blue Wren Foundation - which delivers empowering Relationship Education programs to men, as well as offering coaching and counselling to individuals and couples. We also offer inter-active programs for Men from all walks of life to help with the prevention of family and domestic violence. This is not about targeting and working with 'perpetrators' - this is about working with ALL MEN - from every sector in society. This way we (men) can all step in and explore our beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions within and around relationships and the wider topic of family and domestic violence. You can see more on The Blue Wren Foundation website (click to visit).
One of my passions is to write. I write articles for newspapers and magazines, have published two books and have been a co-author in two more and have several more in the pipe-line. I am currently writing a novel! You can see my books in the 'Shop'.
Travel is also one of my big passions. I have lived and travelled in Europe, Australia and like to visit South Africa, Namibia and Botswana every year or two. I do this by taking a small group of people with me on a 21 day Spirit of Africa Journey. I also love to play the didgeridoo, bush walk, body surf in the ocean waves, paint, sculpt and potter about in my shed and sleep in on the weekends when I get a chance to do so! All in all I love to live life to the full and have a great time ...
