Simon Jones is a psychodramatist, counsellor and social worker. He reflects ”I
embarked on my own personal development work when I was a young man struggling
to be a good father for my children. I found psychodrama to be a powerful tool
for my personal growth and therefore decided to start training in the method
in the early 90's. At the about same time I joined my first men's group, which
I found valuable for redefining my thoughts feelings and roles, as a man.
Simon Gurnsey works for the Depression Support Network, running groups for
depressed people, their family and friends and men only groups. He draws on
the resources of the group to assist each person in the group. Simon has
trained in psychodrama since 1989 and he is a playback theatre actor, conductor
and trainer.
Meditation is led by David Goldsmith. David has been a meditation student in
the Zen Buddhist tradition since 1997.
