Paul Francis is a UK‑based shamanic practitioner, psychotherapist, author, and teacher, best known as the founder of the Three Ravens College of Therapeutic Shamanism and Animism. He studied philosophy and social anthropology at Lancaster University before working in hospitals, teaching sign language, and training in both complementary medicine and psychotherapy. In the early 1980s, he established his private practice, gradually weaving shamanic work into his therapeutic approach. In 2007, he formally founded the Three Ravens College and, in 2017, published the first in his acclaimed Therapeutic Shamanism series of books. Though now retired from one‑to‑one sessions, he continues to write and teach online, living a quiet and contemplative life in North Wales.
