Talking about psychology at Earlham Primary School!

Date: 14th July 2021

"As part of a day talking to young people about their careers, I had the privilege of talking to the children of Earlham Primary School (Forest Gate, London). My favourite question of the day came from one student: 'so people just talk to you about feelings... and you just listen to them?! That must be rewarding'."

Inside Out Wellbeing - Arts Event

Date: September 2017

Invited to speak on a night hosted by 'Inside Out Wellbeing' exploring mental heath and the performing arts. Musicians, writers and creatives of different types were invited to be the audience and participate in a lively discussion about the mind.

"I spoke with the aim of simply getting across some ideas around mental health, stress, anxiety and depression.

I had a lot of fun here and the reception from the audience helped fan the flame of the importance of making ideas around psychology and mental health better understood. "
