A map of the ideas shaping my work at the intersection of psychology, technology, and contemporary life.
We are living through a moment in which our inner worlds are being reshaped by forces we barely have language for. Artificial intelligence, digital culture, and the pressures of modern life are quietly altering how we relate, think, feel, work, love, and make sense of ourselves.
The speed of this change is extraordinary; our psychological frameworks are still catching up.This section gathers the core ideas and themes I work with across my writing, teaching, speaking, and consulting.
These pages are not time-bound articles, but durable reflections on the deeper patterns emerging in our culture — each one linked to a wider body of essays, research, and commentary.What follows is a guide to four central areas of inquiry.
They form the backbone of my work and offer entry points for organisations, leaders, clinicians, educators, and anyone curious about the psychological implications of contemporary life.
AI, Psychotherapy and Mental Health
Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant possibility. It is already shaping emotional life: how people seek reassurance, regulate themselves, and make sense of their relationships. This page explores AI as a psychological object — something people turn to with hopes, fears, projections, and desires — and considers its implications for wellbeing, culture, and the future of care.
The Digitally Mediated Self:
Social Media, AI, and the Psychology of Human Relations
Digital culture has become a layer of reality through which we experience everything else. It shapes identity, attention, intimacy, and meaning. The digitally extended self is the hybrid form of personhood that emerges when our inner world is continually mediated, curated, and reflected through screens. This page examines how that process influences individuals, organisations, and society.
Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and Technology
Technological change is as much a psychological challenge as a strategic one. Leaders are being asked to navigate emotional complexity, shifting work cultures, and the tensions created by AI and automation. This page looks at the human side of leadership — how emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and psychological literacy shape decision-making, collaboration, and organisational life.
The Psychology of Modern Life: Meaning, Relationships, and Personal Development.
Many of the challenges people face today — burnout, disconnection, crisis, midlife tension, identity shifts — are not simply personal problems but expressions of cultural transitions. This page explores how people search for meaning, navigate complexity, and sustain relationships in a world marked by speed, uncertainty, and information overload.
