MEDIA

The stories we tell about mental health — and the structures that shape those stories — have profound consequences for people’s lives. Much of my media work focuses on widening the lens: bringing nuance, challenging the binaries of “deserving and undeserving”, and foregrounding the social, political, and structural forces that too often slip from view. My aim is to bring depth, accuracy, and humanity into the spaces that shape the national conversation, using research and compelling storytelling to speak to a wide range of audiences.

Alongside my clinical and academic work, I have long written and commented for major outlets, producing analysis and commentary under pressure and to tight deadlines. My bylines include The Guardian and The Independent, and I am regularly interviewed for broadsheets, magazines, podcasts, and broadcast media on mental health, trauma, neoliberalism, and the welfare system. I also work within the theatre sector, offering dramaturgical consultation to productions engaging with psychological, political, or trauma-related themes.
