I learned to write the way I learned most things: by doing it, badly at first, over and over, until it started to sound like something true. No creative writing degree, no formal course. Just years of sitting with the page.

The clinical grounding in my writing comes from my years as a nurse and midwife — from learning to read research studies properly, and from holding myself to evidence-based practice long before I ever held myself to a deadline.

But the rest of it, the part readers seem to feel most, comes from somewhere else entirely: my work as a therapist, sitting across from people in their hardest moments, and my own years of having had my voice silenced. There is a particular kind of reflection that comes from not being heard for a long time. Eventually you either stay quiet, or you learn to say the true thing clearly, on your own terms. I chose the second one, eventually.

My books aren't the result of craft classes. They’re the result of clinical training, years of listening to others, and years of learning to listen to myself.

I spent three years writing as a Senior Executive Contributor for Brainz Magazine, and have been featured in numerous international publications across Europe,North and South America, Asia and the Middle East. Then in 2026, my first two books were published.
