Catch Mark on Do Radio:
Where To Next with Dan Kieran, 08-14 September 2025

Dr. Mark Vernon is a psychotherapist, writer, and former Anglican priest whose work bridges ancient philosophy and contemporary spiritual inquiry. With academic roots in physics, theology, and a PhD in ancient Greek philosophy, Mark brings a rare depth to questions of consciousness, meaning, and the inner life.

His books — including Spiritual Intelligence in Seven Steps, Dante’s Divine Comedy: A Guide for the Spiritual Journey, and A Secret History of Christianity — explore how timeless wisdom traditions can illuminate our modern search for purpose and belonging.

In his London-based psychotherapy practice, Mark helps individuals navigate personal transformation, drawing on insights from both psychology and philosophy. Mark's journey from science to priesthood to psychotherapy reflects a lifelong commitment to understanding the human experience from multiple perspectives. His work invites us to see beyond the surface of our lives, encouraging a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.
