No One Came To Visit When I Was Rushed Into A Psychiatric Ward
Scottish Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA)
Bookings being taken.
Delivering training, talks and workshops around mental health and eating disorders is my passion.
This is driven by my own experiences as a teenager and early twenties with anorexia and complex mental illness.
I have been in great physical and mental health now for many years and feel I’m in a confident position to be of huge value and show happiness, recovery, self-awareness and emotional intelligence is completely possible.
My years of lived in experience as well as working alongside psychologists, eating disorder, mental health charities and supporting families through the hell of these very complex illnesses has given me a huge amount of insight and practical information I bring to the people Im engaging with.
A regular guest and contributor on National TV, Radio and Newspapers. therefore, starting those important conversations with people across the world in schools, universities, private hospitals and workplaces.
