Charles Neal

I had a very chequered, difficult - and richly formative - childhood and adolescence in central London since which I have worked for almost fifty years to support thousands of people of all ages and abilities at points of growth and change in their lives - in education and training at first and, for the past twenty-four years, in therapy, counselling and coaching, supervision and professional development. I have hugely enjoyed it all and feel immensely privileged to have been allowed into peoples' lives and hearts.

Writing has been a lifelong pleasure and a way of processing life. I have run a number of writing groups for many years, published poetry and articles, co-edited three best-selling handbooks of 'Pink Therapy', the first European book about gay and bi men's experiences within heterosexual marriages and am now working on a forty-year-old pet project about Oscar Wilde and the Symbolist movement.
