I enjoy going to the gym and keeping fit. However, I still manage to remain overweight because of my interest in food ! I did engage a lot with photography and sculpture but have less time now. My biggest passion is travel and I have managed to see the 7 natural wonders of the world. I am an Arsenal supporter. I am a brown belt in Jujitsu which I practise twice a week.

I did post graduate research on the role of Identity Structure in the aetiology of schizophrenia. I used a computer program called IDEX (identity structure using personal constructs). I have a keen interest in schema's and how we sees the world. I also have a growing interest in Sports psychology and enhancing performance in sport, work and life. I am an accredited EMDR therapist and am facinated now EMDR works.
