Author
As well as my four books on positive mental health recovery, I've written health and travel articles for three decades. It means that I've had plenty of experience in asking the right question at just the right time.
To do that I have also developed the skill of being a very good listener. These are essential when helping and guiding someone.
In 2012 the death by suicide of my best friend Tim led to a life change that saw me travelling with my young family and dog Colin in a motorhome for the past few years. So far we have travelled in 13 countries covering 40,000 miles.
As a writer I’ve interviewed hundreds of people ranging from infamous gangsters and famous pop stars to leading doctors and a great many lovely and amazing regular people from all walks of life.
Celebrities I've interviewed include authors Matt Haig, Peter James, Marcia Willett, Karin Slaughter, Lee Child, Kate Mosse, RJ Ellory and Michael Morpurgo; musicians Barry White, Fatboy Slim, Magne Furuholmen and Ronan Keating; sports stars Tony Adams, Darren Gough and Bill Beaumont; comedian Paul O'Grady; and actors Richard Wilson, Denise van Outen, Max Beesley, Martin Hancock, Dan Renton Skinner, Keeley Hawes and Richard E Grant.
