About me

I work at the Centre for Separated Families, a national charity that uses whole family interventions to support parents in bringing about better outcomes for their children after divorce or separation. As well as working directly with families, I design and deliver training to other professionals working with family separation, both in the UK and abroad.

I am the co-author of The Guide for Separated Parents (Piatkus 2009) with my colleague and wife, Karen, and Divorce for Dads (Two Dogs 2010) written with former Manchester United and England goalkeeper, Gary Bailey. I have also written parenting information for, amongst others, The government's Child Maintenance Options service, BBC Online, the Separated Dad's Guide and Dad.info.
