Big thanks to the National Centre for Academic & Cultural Exchange @CultureImpacts for featuring my #CreativeHealth projects with academics as a new Case Study inviting me to speak at their summer showcase today about how the arts can humanise research ncace.ac.uk/wp-content/uploa…
A fantastic privilege to be running a new course on Creative Health with some very talented Y2's at @BSMSMedSchool. I loved the striking imagery they produced depicting health conditions for the 'doctor' to guess - Covid & Migraine with aura #clinicalhumanities#medicalhumanities
Over the moon to be awarded an @ace_national#DYCP grant to create a child #mentalhealth resource. Great scoping stage with 9-12 yo exploring positive imagery, emotions & self compassion. Thanks to some fantastic pupils and Priory Hamsey schools in Sussex for having me!
Loved working with the Youth Resilience Unit @QMULResilience recently running arts #mentalhealth workshops with a fantastically insightful group of 8-9 year olds at Brampton Primary School, Newham - some amazing ideas & images around mental health and how to build #resilience
If you have a child who suffers from anxiety here's a story that might give you hope.
Three years ago my son was experiencing terrible anxiety &panic attacks. He struggled to get into school/college & rarely left the house. The short train ride to Brighton was a challenge.

Thrilled to work with @Ageing_Better to photograph & interview inspirational people age 50 for their #AgeProud campaign challenging perceptions of #ageing. Thank you to @MichiMathias, Steve & Chris for sharing their unique & memorable stories with me! #positiveageing#ageingwell
"Whatever age you are, it’s always the oldest you’ve ever been! People always say that they’ve changed so much and they would never want to be in their 20s again for example. But I’ve always felt exactly the same!"
