Writings & Reflections Blog

By Chris Joanna Hart
Sunday Times best-selling author with Hodder & Stoughton, Fleet Street veteran, psychotherapist, shamanic practitioner, and life coach


Step past the headlines, beyond the ink-stained desks of Fleet Street, into the quiet territories where stories and souls collide. For over 25 years, I’ve traced human drama through newsprint and whispered confessions alike, blending reportage, psychodynamic insight, Jungian wisdom, and shamanic practice.


This is a space where observation becomes understanding, curiosity becomes transformation, and the hidden currents of life are illuminated. Here, the ordinary is read anew, the unseen is honored, and every reflection is an invitation to explore the mind, the spirit, and the stories that quietly shape who we are.
