From 1989 until 2005, he and his team, delivered the first therapeutic services within Deptford, South East London in an organization called Orexis. It was here that extensive issues relating to early childhood ‘complex trauma’ were discovered and the links were then made to people ‘self medicating’ as adults for the subsequent impact. The general lack of awareness during the nineties propelled him to do specific research on masculinities leading to the eventual publication of Beaten into Violence. Here, one of the first qualitative therapeutic methodologies to explore the complex trauma issues was devised. This became known as relational methodology.
Later he undertook the first therapeutic interventions with homeless men, drawing on the idea of emotional recovery, taking ideas from his previous work ‘Beaten into Violence’. These were initially written up in a series of reports, circulated from 2007 onwards in the charity he worked within. They were drawn upon in an article, written in 2010, eventually published in 2011 in the Attachment Journal. This is where the term ‘psychologically informed environments’ was first extensively therapeutically explored.ver menos
