I am a working screenwriter and have worked with the likes of Blueprint Pictures, Protagonist, Endor, and Cinéma Defacto as a screenwriter and script doctor on international feature film and television projects.

Primarily interested in science fiction, I have worked across genres including psychological thrillers, art-house and romantic comedy. I’m a senior screenwriting tutor and mentor at The MetFilm School, UCA Farnham, Central St Martins, and the Central School of Speech and Drama, as well as in the library at HMP Thameside and HMP Lewes where I teach screenwriting and hold ‘The Hero’s Journey’ workshops with the prisoners there.

I really enjoy all aspects of the writing and teaching process from the seed of a concept through to character development, structure and creating unique voices. I am particularly fascinated by the origin and meaning of stories and myths, why we tell them, and how their principles apply to writing today.

As well as having a masters with distinction in both scriptwriting and psychology, I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I am currently training as a counselling psychologist and integrative psychotherapist with a particular interest in dreamwork, and the use of narrative and Gestalt techniques in group therapy.
