She became interested in the workings of the mind while she was a journalist covering the crime beat on newspapers in the UK and Canada, and went on to take a degree in psychology followed by qualifications in counseling and hypnotherapy. She is the published author of several novels and non-fiction books, children's stories and plays. She strongly believes that open dialogue about mental health issues will remove the stigma and encourage people to seek the help they need to live happier, more fulfilled lives.
