​​Education 

I enjoy creating and teaching poetry workshops, and have done so over the last few years for, poets, young people, unpaid carers, people with early onset dementia, psychotherapists, community groups.

​​​​

Creative Health​​​​

I am a non-executive director at The National Centre for Creative Health with a special interest in Comms, CreaTech and the APPG. ​​  I have also worked within UK health at The Nudge Unit, NHS, and The King's Fund and am an expert advisor for the Longitude Dementia Prize (Nesta).  

​

Oxford Poetry Pharmacy & Perambulation

I sometimes offer poetry pharmacy one-to-ones which combine a Zen coaching session with the share and prescription of a suitable poem. I have also been asked to lead groups on poetry perambulations of Oxford, combining literary history, creation, and live readings as we go.

​​​

Media & Reviewing 

I was a poetry reviewer for Sphinx and am a regular contributor to the podcast Poetry Worth Hearing.
