Who are they?

Starting his career winding his was through Baker Street, tripping up on the cobbles of Coronation Street, he found a firm footing on the stages of Manchester’s Palace Theatre and Opera House.

Whilst born and raised in Manchester, Duncan has worked across the UK in many of the No 1 touring theatres taking West End musicals across the regions, and highly respected drama from Sheffield Theatres to equally respected playhouses as Director of Marketing and PR for M+H Communications and later AKA.

He also spent time with many museums and galleries, and the wider arts in full service arts Marketing agencies.

Storytelling has been central to his work and so a change in career to re-train as a psychotherapist wasn’t a surprise to many.

His work in the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector, has seen him deliver front line drug and alcohol services; develop spaces where arts and health meet for sex workers; and health and connection happen for prisoners.

However, it was in founding We Are Survivors, the largest male victim/survivor of sexual harms charity in the UK that he returned to the arts and has helped develop some of the most important storylines in long running drama and soap on TV, and there was also his attachment with a little known show called Baby Reindeer.
