Writing
I have always had a passion for storytelling, and enjoy writing both fiction and non-fiction. I have found writing and storytelling to be a useful tools for managing my mental health, as well as for science communication and advocacy.
Below are some examples of my writing.
I Am Your Father
I've also written a series of blog posts called I Am Your Father, which is all about my experience of becoming a father during lockdown.
The Journey
I also write stories based on my experiences with mental health. One example of this was a short story called The Journey, which was shortlisted in a competition by Mind, the mental health charity.
How Writing Saved My Life
I have written a series of posts (Let's Talk About...) about mental health, including How Writing Saved My Life, about how I use writing to process and manage my thoughts and emotions.
All of these posts and more can be found in the mental health category on the blog.
