Jo and I are colleagues as Compassion-focused Coaching Supervisors with The Difference.

He is a Child and Educational Psychologist, Royal Society of Arts and Churchill Fellow, advisor to Foundation for Education Development and Queens Commonwealth Trust, writer, researcher, podcaster

and also a very cool human being.


I'd been wanting to talk to him for ages about Educational Psychology, what he feels it is and needs to be, and what similarities and differences we see between our fields. We ended up talking a lot about Supervision and working with staff, and also about systemic issues.

I hope there will be more - it felt like we only scratched the surface!


References-wise, he mentions the ideas of Urie Bronfennbrenner and his ecological systems theory which influenced the direction Jo's work has taken.


Jo is a prolific thinker, researcher and writer and I recommend you check out his work below.

He is currently researching:

compassion as an approach for supporting care giving (https://bit.ly/3SXIyMa);

and collecting the wisdom of Educational Psychologists with over 20 yrs experience to influence practice for the next 20 years (https://constellationspsychology.notion.site/The-Psychology-Elders-Project-93cee0ccd5e246bf8f81f49ff04a4d5b).
