Some may see me as just a podcaster, but mindfulness and mental health underpin my work. This along with my education in the area led me to write Awaken Awareness, seeking clarity, balance and understanding. #mindfulness #writing

Wes Streeting’s review isn’t helpful, it’s mental-health vilification by proxy. It risks framing need as exaggeration and will set back understanding and real support by decades. We need honesty and investment, not suspicion. #mentalhealth #care #nhs

Flashback to when I sat down with American comedian and writer John Poveromo to chat comedy and mental health. Discussing depression, performing and creativity as its own kind of therapy. An open, funny and honest chat! #podcast #comedy #mentalhealth

CQC report is calling for urgent improvements at a mental health unit and it hits hard. People deserve safe, supportive care, not systems that slip through the cracks.

A reminder why awareness & accountability matter, we need real change not words. #mentalhealth #nhs
