I am a writer, educator and creative practitioner working at the intersection of wellbeing, mental health, music and meaning-making. My work focuses on translating complex ideas from psychology, philosophy and the arts into accessible, emotionally intelligent content for public audiences. Alongside university teaching, I create reflective, narrative-led material on mental health, creativity and identity, drawing on lived experience, interdisciplinary research and artistic practice. I am particularly interested in wellbeing content that resists clichés, honours complexity, and supports people to think and feel more clearly about their inner lives.
