Jo May

I originally trained as an actor. Work included several seasons at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre Company, where I liked doing comedy and Shakespeare, and a couple of Hammer Films- 'Taste the Blood of Dracula' and 'Countess Dracula'.

On giving up acting, I discovered psychotherapy and groupwork. After attending many groups and trainings with some of the originators in the field of Human Potential, I eventually became a research psychologist at the University of Surrey, where I researched facial asymmetry and the way that relates to brain function.

In 1978 I moved to Cornwall and founded CAER.

I am an FDA accredited group facilitator and trainer, run workshops under the CAER Programme and elsewhere and am an accredited, UKCP registered Core Process Psychotherapist. I have also written a book called 'Fogou', which is about some of my, and others, experiences at the ancient site .

The photo shows me on a sailing boat, which is one of the nicest things I can think of doing.
