Welcome
I’m John-Paul. I’m a writer and artist. I live in London.
I use creative self-expression as a route to insight, confidence, and transformation – for myself and with others.
I can help you find your voice and make your mark.
For 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of art, story, and performance.
My approach combines classical rhetoric with theatrical improvisation, visual art with narrative, technical skill with emotional truth.
These things feed each other.
Work with me
I’ll help you discover and express your most powerful, authentic self.
The work is fundamentally the same, regardless of the specific output:
Background
Seven books, in 16 languages: fiction, illustrated poetry, memoir and non-fiction.
Worked for years as a journalist, writer and editor on the Financial Times and the Sunday Times.
Trained in classical rhetoric and theatrical improvisation.
Recovered from psychiatric crisis through making art. That experience transformed my understanding of creative practice and informs everything I do.
