Journalist. Psychotherapist. Coach. Author. Consultant.
With over 20 years of experience in mental health and wellbeing, and a background in mainstream journalism and content publishing, I bring both clinical depth and editorial clarity to every project. I create clear, credible, and psychologically informed content for brands, organisations, and platforms: from website copy and thought leadership to wellbeing content and brand storytelling.
“Words don’t come easy to me,” warbled F.R. David in the 80s. In fact, the lyrics to his chart hit were so complex that two people wrote them: Marty Kupersmith and Louis S. Yaguda, if you must know. I am most definitely a word man and, thankfully, they do come easy to me.
I am a former full-time journalist with a proven track record in mainstream print media and custom publishing, as my varied portfolio attests. For more than 20 years, however, my focus has been on all aspects of mental health and wellbeing.
Areas of expertise
I am a fully trained and accredited psychotherapist, coach, and hypnotherapist. My experience spans private practice, private healthcare, occupational health, the NHS, and Priory Hospital. There, I provided CBT-style therapies, positive psychology interventions, hypnotherapy sessions as well as other services. My main focus is on anxiety issues, stress management and burnout (recovery and prevention) but I’ve also written about weight loss, confidence issues, ecotherapy, spirituality, and more.
During that time, I’ve delivered one-to-one coaching and therapy, alongside group programmes, workshops, and webinars. Plus, I’ve delivered content, copy, white papers, and more across a variety of sectors, including corporate, hospitality and education.
Author
I’m also the award-winning author of How to Cope with Almost Anything with Hypnotherapy (Green Tree/Bloomsbury) and the best-selling The Four Thoughts That F*ck You Up… and How to Fix Them (Vermillion/Penguin Random House).
Content provider
I’ve collaborated with workplace wellness platforms including This Can Happen Global and Employees Matter, as well as Hospitality Professionals Association, New Dog PR, and the mental health app Mind Ease. I also write a regular column for Psychology Today.
I love the written word. I love the English language in all its complexity and subtlety. I also have a passion for mental health and wellbeing. If you share that passion, just think what words I could write for you.
