I am an author, ghostwriter and freelance journalist.  With my author hat on I have penned eight books in the ‘This Book Will Make You…’ series. The titles are: This Book Will Make you Happy/ Calm/ Fearless/ Sleep/ Confident/ Mindful/ Feel Beautiful/ Successful.

Based upon CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), they are packed with tools, strategies and expert advice to tackle whatever issues you’re facing in your life, written in a hopefully entertaining and definitely non-tree-huggy way.  They have been translated into a dozen languages (‘Simple Chinese’ looks amazing, no idea what they say though) and Happy, Sleep and Calm have just been released in  special hardback editions.

I am also a ghostwriter and have just finished a health and fitness book with a celebrity that reached the Top 10 UK bestsellers list.

With my journo hat on I work for titles including Stylist, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Red, YOU, Fabulous, Heat, Mr Hyde, Look, ShortList, Emerald Street and The Mirror, writing everything from wellbeing features, topical articles and travel pieces to celebrity interviews (Vanessa Paradis, Joan Collins and One Direction have all had the pleasure of my clammy palm in theirs). I was Cosmopolitan’s Sex and the Not So Single Girl columnist for 18 months with a page in the magazine and a weekly blog on the website.

As a copywriter I have written advertorials and sponsored content for brands including Adidas, Starbucks, Elizabeth Arden and Boden.

I’m regularly called upon to give quotes and comments on wellbeing for other journos and have also appeared on Sky News and Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour discussing my work. You can read some of those articles here.
