Welcome to my web site!
This web site has two principal purposes.
The first is to act as a resource base for people interested in the behavioural sciences
-
And also, of course, how the various theories, models and therapeutic techniques can be applied practically to help change people’s lives for the better.
I coined the term 'Integrated SocioPsychology' in 2004 for a comprehensive and cohesive
approach I intuited could align and integrate all the different (and all too-
To make cohesive sense of all the models and interventions in the behavioural sciences
and the complimentary 'hard sciences' (Biology, Neuroscience), I am using Spiral
Dynamics -
More on the cutting-
This web site carries a real flavour and much information as to how Integrated SocioPsychology is being developed (by myself and others). However, greater detail and elaboration can be found in my book, ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You: an Integrated SocioPsychology Guide to Personal Fulfilment & Better Relationships’.
See Using this Site for guidance on how to make the most of it as a resource base.
If, after studying what’s on this site, you feel you have something valuable to contribute to ideas on how Integrated SocioPsychology will/should develop, please get in touch via the Contact page to discuss this.
So, what on earth is a 'SocioPsychologist'?
The
second purpose of this site is to tell you about me, what I’ve done and how I can
help you
A 'sociopsychologist' is essentially me(!)...or someone who shares something of my
approach to understanding the 'human condition'. Deeply versed in all forms and schools
of Psychology, increasingly a sociologist by way of a long-
I readily acknowledge a range of 'gurus', both living and dead, whose work taken
singularly is far more important than anything I have conceived, I delight in a wide
spectrum of alliances with like-
In the 'olden days' they would have called people like me 'wizards' -
It's been said that I can change people. I can't, really...honest! However, I can assess someone's readiness for change and, if that change is right for them, assist them to make the change. Also I can help people resolve issues by getting to the core factors and by looking at things from different perspectives.
And since organisations are only structures containing people and their cultures, I can help assess and facilitate change and resolve issues at an organisational level too.
How did I come to be this 'SocioPsychologist'...?
I
have been studying the behavioural sciences and their applications to 'real life'
since my first year at university many (many!) years ago. However, the key turning
point was being trained in Spiral Dynamics to Level II by the model's developers,
Don Beck & Chris Cowan. This, combined with my training as a Master Practitioner
in Neuro-
With this mapping, it is possible to understand what motivates people to think and behave in different ways at different times and to identify what the triggers for change may be. Thus, it is possible to create strategies for change.
Additionally, NLP provides a number of powerful 'therapy tools' with which it is possible to assist people through deep cognitive and emotional blockages to change. CBT is highly useful in embedding new and more positive ways of thinking; additionally Behavioural measures are often critical to deal with issues arising from temperament.
At an organisational level, I favour the Organisation LifeCycle approach (developed
by Ichak Adizes -
Using the Adizes model can be a vital element in structuring a 'MeshWORK' -
What have I done/what do I offer/who do I work
with?
A qualified teacher, with some 30 years experience in business and industry,
I went into management consultancy & training at the end of the 1980s. In addition
to winning the then-
At the beginning of 2001, encouraged by some teachers I had introduced to Spiral
Dynamics and NLP, I returned part-
When the chance came to teach (on a part-
From sociopsychological perspectives, I work on business development issues with
organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors. Such activities range
from in-

& Mentoring
Although I usually work under my own name, I do subcontract where appropriate and have worked for the likes of Hidden Resources Change Management Ltd, Cobus Business Services Ltd, Summit Consulting and David Burnby & Associates in the past. Increasingly important to me these day is my association with the Centre for Human Emergence UK.
For an overview of my career, visit the Career pages.
I also carry out one-
Periodically I run Integrated SocioPsychology workshop programmes introducing people to Spiral Dynamics, related NLP models such as Meta States and other key sociopsychological concepts such as Reciprocal Determinism. Visit ISP Courses to learn more about these workshops. The Events Diary lists such workshops and other ‘open’ events (various training programmes, speaking engagements, etc) which are hosted by myself or in collaboration with others.
So...
...Visitor, as you explore my site, ask yourself...
...and, when you look at it globally and holistically, just what is it that stops you getting what you want or being who you want to be?
There are many ways I can assist you...get in contact *now* to find out more!
