I have spent many years as an academic philosopher paying attention to how people talk about their experience of not feeling at home or comfortable in their body.
Alongside medical health professionals, I’ve worked with amputees and people with identity disorders of all kinds. I learnt to listen to how people adapted to different identity crises. I also learnt that vulnerable people often, given the right support, are able to transform their lives for the better. We all have our own answers about how to be free and happy. Professionals, in various roles, are best employed as enablers rather than helpers.
My academic pursuits led to a number of publications, many of which are online. As an academic I became more and more interested in practically supporting vulnerable people making positive changes in their lives. This led to me switching careers mid-life and becoming a holistic hypnotherapist.
