Heward is a thought provoking, knowledgeable, lively, and witty, public speaker on a variety of topics, including:

• psychotherapy and counselling;
• statutory regulation;
• literature and the arts;
• philosophy;
• religion and theology;
• politics;
• sport;

and the cultural implications of any of these.

Particular focal themes on which he would be able to expand might include:

• the intersection of science and religion in evaluating psychotherapy;
• the relationship of science and art; whether psychotherapy is a Trojan horse smuggling in a particular world view;
• whether psychotherapy pathologises human experience and turns normal real life problems into 'suitable cases for treatment';
• the practical value of philosophy;
• the psychology of art;
• the specific psychology of the Shakespeare authorship question;
• the challenge psychology and religion pose for each other;
• psychology and evolutionary biology;
• political optimism and political pessimism and what we can hope to change in today's world;
• and much much else.

Themes would be discussible and negotiable; if you have a hunch about what might be available or possible, just ask.
