About Me

It was 1995 when I first experience ill mental health. I had not long given birth and was struck by crippling anxiety and low mood.  I had never felt so out of control of my body and feelings. I was diagnosed with postnatal depression which led to a long stay in a Mother and Baby unit while I tried various therapies and medications.

In the years that followed, I received many diagnoses including 'generalised anxiety disorder' and 'panic disorder.' I spent years in  various therapies and read a lifetime's supply of self-help books.    

​

Now recovered, I reflect on having lived through the isolation of ill mental health, loss of hope and utter despair it can bring. My desire is that no one has to take it on alone.​​​​ Making time for our wellbeing and learning healthy coping mechanisms can make al the difference and prevent the possible escalation into mental illness.

We are not powerless when it comes to our mental wellbeing. With support and accurate information we CAN put ourselves first and experience a healthier sense of wellbeing without any guilt.​
