'The Broken Couch' - involves the story of a fictional psychoanalyst who worked with the Nazi prisoners on trial for war crimes. It also features Dr. Wilson Coffey the reluctant spy - the hero of my first novel, 'Containment'.
Most of my working life has been as an academic psychologist - a career that I thoroughly enjoyed. Working at a university involves writing books and articles as well as teaching students but I now love the challenge of writing fiction.
The books based on my research feature domestic abuse, women's sexuality, motherhood, depression, leadership in the NHS and gender and power conflicts at work.
The 2nd edition of my book Genealogy, Psychology and Therapy: Uncovering Trauma was published by Taylor and Francis in 2022. It explores how trauma is transmitted across generations influencing who you really are.
