Sometimes you just need someone to talk to. Writing is brilliant and rewarding, but publishing can be stressful.

I'm a narrative and health psychologist with 20+ years in the writing and publishing world as an author.

This isn't therapy, but I will discuss coping strategies and give you space to vent!

Check back for workshops in 2026.

I want to help you to write your novel.

From ideas to characters to plot to world, I provide one-to-one mentoring for authors.

You have your own story and I will help you tell it.

I am a narrative and health psychologist. I am Chartered with the British Psychological Society and I am HCPC registered. I fell in love with storytelling when I did a PhD and learned how stories shape our identity and our life.

I have worked in storytelling with individuals and organisations for many years, and in 2013 I received an MBE for services to vulnerable people.

My background and experience have helped me to write what I hope are relatable stories and work with publishers to bring them to you.
