As I’ve progressed through my career as a therapist and trainer, I’ve been approached and asked to write guest blogs or provide expert commentary for a range of publications.  The following is a (non exhaustive) list of the mental health news articles I’ve written and the publications that I’ve been interviewed by. If you are a journalist who is looking for an expert comment on a mental health topic, please feel free to get in touch. If you’d like to read articles on mental health that I’ve published on this site, you can do that by reading my blog.
