Writing

I have always had a passion for storytelling. I enjoy writing both fiction and non-fiction, and have found it to be a useful tool for managing my mental health, science communication and advocacy. Below are some links to examples of my writing.

I Am Your Father

I've also written a series of blog posts about becoming a father during lockdown called I Am Your Father. Because of the nature of that blog, the topic of mental health comes up often.

Writing and Mental Health

I have found that writing can be a really powerful tool for processing and managing my thoughts and emotions.

I have written a series of blog posts (Let's Talk About...) on the subject, as well as the post below on how I use writing as a therapeutic tool.

• How Writing Saved My Life.

I also write stories based on my experiences with mental health. The short story below was shortlisted in a competition by Mind, the mental health charity.

• The Journey

All of these posts and more can be found in the mental health category on the blog.
