On Going Research

As a psychologist coach research forms an important part of my activities.

My BSc dissertation was exploring the experiences of those practising earth based spirituality.  A report of this research was presented at the York University conference “Exploring the Extraordinary”.

As a member of the social psychology cluster at the University of Derby my research interest include: personal/spiritual development, Construction of spiritual experiences, Spirituality and Religion and identity within group.
