THE BLOG
These views are my own and are not representative of any of the organisations, charities or NGO's I work with. If an article sparks questions, queries or curiosity, you are welcome to email me for further details.

Buy me a coffee? All of the videos, comics, podcasts and blog entries I create are free because I believe money should never be a barrier to accessing mental health support and resources. If you have found any of this content useful, and have a spare £4, you can digitally buy me a coffee (or two) by clicking below. It takes a few seconds and is massively appreciated by me! Cheers.
