My work as a scholar, writer and film-maker has always turned around one question: what does it mean to be human? From my undergraduate dissertation on Henrik Ibsen and self-realisation, through a PhD in psychoanalysis and film, I have been exploring relationships, power and responsibility on and off screen.
My books range from ethics in documentary and postcolonial cinema to my current work on AI intimacy and psychoanalysis, but they are all concerned with how we come to know ourselves and others. The same questions shape my life coaching: what stories are you living by, and what needs to change for you to move towards a more purposeful life?
Each book is part of an evolving conversation between theory and practice, film and psychoanalysis, history and contemporary storytelling.
