About

I’m a psychologist, international author and educator, and my work explores the fascinating relationship between psychology, human behaviour, spirituality and personal development.


I have more than 30 years of experience in psychology and education, during which I’ve developed a lasting passion for understanding people, exploring ideas and making psychological concepts accessible, interesting and meaningful.


I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology, and I’ve dedicated much of my professional life to psychology, education, writing and exploring human behaviour.


Today, my focus is increasingly on writing, publishing and creative projects. I’m the author of Sleepwalk: Live in the Dream, The Renwick ACT Companion and a range of psychological and wellbeing resources, including Mental Health Conversation Cards.


My writing explores themes including human behaviour, memory, dreams, consciousness, psychological wellbeing, spirituality and the search for meaning. I’m particularly interested in the meeting point between established psychological thinking and the deeper questions we ask about ourselves and our experiences.


I draw inspiration from thinkers including Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, as well as contemporary psychological approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.


I’m currently developing a psychological and spiritual thriller, currently titled 2:17: The Forgotten Truth. The title may change as the project develops. The story explores memory, trauma, identity and the possibility that some experiences remain hidden until we are ready to confront them.


Through Renwick Psychology, I bring together my work as a psychologist, author and educator, sharing books, ideas, psychological resources and creative projects designed to encourage curiosity and a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.

Writing & Books


Writing has become an important part of my own exploration of psychology, spirituality and the human experience.

As a published author, I understand that writing a book is far more than putting words on a page. Developing an idea, finding your voice, structuring a manuscript and, eventually, seeing your work become a finished book can be both exciting and challenging. I enjoy helping other writers develop their ideas and would be happy to offer my experience to people who are considering writing their own book.


Thinking About Writing a Book?

Perhaps you've had an idea for years, but don't know where to begin. Maybe you've started writing but aren't sure how to develop the story, structure your ideas or take the next step.


I can offer informal guidance and support based on my own experience as an author, including discussing your idea, talking through structure and offering an independent perspective on your writing.

This isn't a formal publishing or professional editorial service. It's simply an opportunity to talk to another writer who has been through the process.


A Different Kind of Service

I don't want cost to be a barrier for someone who genuinely wants to explore their writing.

For that reason, I don't charge a fixed fee for this service.

If you find our conversation useful, you can donate whatever you feel is appropriate.

There is no set amount and no obligation. The idea is simply to make my experience as a published author available to people who might benefit from it.

My First Novella Coming Soon...

The story follows Daniel Hart, a man whose life is affected by the disappearance of his sister Emily and memories that he has struggled to understand. As the story unfolds, Daniel is forced to question what he remembers, what he has forgotten, and whether some truths can remain buried forever. The book brings together my interest in psychology and spirituality, exploring themes around memory, dreams, consciousness and the search for meaning.


From Dragons' Den to the Story

There is also an unexpected personal connection behind the book. Many years ago, I appeared on the BBC's Dragons' Den with one of my early business ideas. That experience eventually led to my coming into contact with Rachel Elnaugh, one of the original Dragons. Remarkably, while I was writing this new book many years later, Rachel and I unexpectedly came back into contact. The timing struck me as extraordinary. I was writing a story heavily influenced by psychology, spirituality and the idea that apparently unrelated events can sometimes become connected in meaningful ways — and at precisely that time, someone from an important part of my own past reappeared.


I found myself thinking about Carl Jung's theory of synchronicity: the idea that two or more events can be meaningfully connected despite there being no obvious causal relationship between them. Whether such experiences are simply coincidence, the mind finding patterns and meaning, or something more mysterious is open to interpretation. For me, however, the experience became part of the story behind the story.

It reinforced one of the central questions of the book:


What if some of the things that happen in our lives aren't quite as random as they first appear?

2:17 explores the boundaries between psychology and spirituality, memory and reality, coincidence and synchronicity — and asks whether some truths really can remain buried forever.

Where the Story Began


The idea for 2:17: The Forgotten Truth came to me in an unexpected way.

During a guided meditation, an idea began to emerge — a time, an image and the beginnings of a story that I couldn't quite explain.

I hadn't sat down with the intention of writing a psychological and spiritual thriller. The story seemed to develop gradually as I explored the ideas that had surfaced during that experience.

What began as a moment of meditation eventually became a manuscript, and the manuscript became 2:17: The Forgotten Truth.

For me, that experience is part of what makes the book particularly meaningful. It became an exploration of psychology, spirituality, memory, trauma, consciousness and the mysterious ways in which ideas sometimes emerge.

I didn't know where the idea would lead.

I simply followed it.
