background

Publications

Before training as a psychotherapist, I regularly wrote for the national press, while editing for an online review company. I have since written for welldoing.org, the New York Times, and Psychology Today as well as The Big Issue, The Oldie, Tortoise Media, medium.com and vox.com.

I regularly review books for the Times Literary Supplement (posted on my blog) and am on the editorial board of the UKCP’s magazine New Psychotherapist. I have a quiet substack that looks at ‘therapy’ terms that have entered the mainstream.
