About

What lives behind
the face we show the world?

Jon Treanor

For years I sat in boardrooms at Sony, MGM/UA, Paramount and Universal. Then I built my own company and watched it implode. It was stripped and sold to the lowest bidder.

That was the start of a different education.

I went back to school and spent six years training as a psychotherapist. I built a practice in Oxford and on Harley Street, working with people who looked fine from the outside and were struggling everywhere else. I knew that feeling. I had lived it.

Most of us wear a mask. At work, at home, sometimes even when we are alone. It keeps us safe for a while. Then it starts to cost more than it gives.

My work is about what sits behind the mask. Fear. Anxiety. The weight of leading when everyone is watching. The patterns that keep coming back, however hard you try. I am direct, and I am on your side.

These days I live on a boat in the Greek islands and work online, by Zoom or Teams. I take on no more than ten clients a year, so each one has my full attention.

I also write. Fear, Masks & Shadows is the book behind this work. The Consequence of Vengeance is a series of psychological thrillers about a psychotherapist who waits twenty-five years to settle a score. They are different doors into the same question.

I wanted to kill those who wronged me and destroyed my life. I waited twenty-five years. Then I wrote it.

Four psychological thrillers about a psychotherapist who wakes his own shadow, calls it Wolf, and lets it loose on the men who ruined him. The only thing holding him to the light is the woman he loves, and a love he has never dared to trust.
