Media and public commentary
Thoughtful contributions on ageing, later life, work, and meaning.
I am a trusted media contributor with over 30 years of experience in career development, retirement, and lifestyle topics.
I contribute regularly to media discussions on ageing, later life, work, and identity. My commentary draws on psychological research, long professional practice, and lived experience of later-life transition.
I work with journalists, broadcasters, and producers who want thoughtful, evidence-informed perspectives rather than headline-driven soundbites.
In 2024, I received the UK Career Development Awards’ Research by a Career Development Professional Award for my doctoral work on meaning after full-time employment.
The research explored how people make sense of identity, purpose, and contribution in later life.
PR campaigns
I work with organisations and agencies on media campaigns that explore ageing, later-life transitions, and changing patterns of work. My role is to bring psychological depth, clarity, and credibility to complex topics.
TV, podcasts and radio
I appear regularly on television, radio, and podcasts to discuss later life, work, ageing, and social change. My contributions focus on helping audiences understand the deeper context behind policy, culture, and individual experience.
Magazines and journals
I write for national and specialist publications on topics including ageing, later-life transitions, identity, and purpose. Editors value my ability to combine research with lived insight, and to write with clarity and restraint.
Public speaking
I speak at conferences and events on ageing, later life, and the psychology of transition. My talks are reflective rather than motivational, offering space for thought as well as practical insight.
