RESUME

My work has been steeped in the concept of ‘therapeutic environments’, what it is that makes a place conducive to well-being.  My professional practice has been in psychiatric hospitals, schools, prisons, organisations and neighbourhoods, meeting the challenges of service delivery and researching the processes of what makes a good community tick, and what are the abruptions that damage the soul of a community.  I am currently running a research project with Nottinghamshire Fire Services funded by the Crime and Drugs Partnership developing a counselling education intervention for young persistent fire setters.  The focus of my work is often in the aftermath of traumatic events, and concerned with early intervention to prevent future trauma.  I have a specialist grasp of the impact of trauma and disruption both on individuals and groups of people and I am the course leader for the MA in Trauma studies at the University of Nottingham where I help students develop evidence based research practice.  I have a career long commitment to the concept of Therapeutic Community theory and MH practice and I am editor of the International Journal of Therapeutic Communities.  Throughout my 35 year plus career working with people who suffer MH challenges (and teaching people to work with others) I have been committed to the idea of enfranchisement and service user voice.  It is with an eye on voice and enfranchisement that I apply my skills and knowledge to research and practice.
