Associate Professor of Contemplative Psychology at the University of Derby (UK), and Visiting Professor of Psychology and Mindfulness at the Royal University of Bhutan.

Founder of Meditation Awareness Training. Work cited in NICE, UNESCO and EU reports. Over 130 peer-reviewed academic journal publications and author of The Way of the Mindful Warrior. More than 300 TV, print and radio appearances. Visiting Professor of Psychology and Mindfulness at the Royal University of Bhutan.

My path runs from senior roles in international business, to a decade as a Buddhist monk in intensive meditation and contemplative training, and then to research in contemplative psychology.

I founded Meditation Awareness Training (MAT), a second-generation mindfulness approach evaluated for wellbeing, performance, workaholism, fibromyalgia and coping with cancer. The work has also shaped ideas such as ontological addiction and inverted hallucinations, and has informed NICE, UNESCO and EU reports. It has been covered in more than 300 TV, radio and print media appearances.

Private work draws on that combination: 1-1 tuition, group training, workshops and keynotes, consultancy, and retreats arranged with an organiser.
