While able, I will continue to go where the interest is; just like with this fantastic group of UK Play Specialists at Starlight UK Headquarters, Hammersmith, London.

From an ACT perspective, to me, there is nothing more rewarding than moving in a direction that is consistent with my Core Values. Forever Grateful. Dr Bernie Whitaker.
