Writing

I have had several pieces published as “stories” by health publication: the Mighty including:

• How the “Art of Avoidance” helped my mental health
• Anxiety is your best friend and your worst enemy
• The fear of happiness
• Your mental illness is not your fault
• You are not faking your mental illness

I was invited to write a piece about the value of failure for IVAR (The Institute for Voluntary Action Research).

I am passionate about my region of North East England and ocassionally write about North East politics and devolution for North East Bylines.
