A skilled journalist with ten years experience as magazine editor, news editor, features editor, features writer and award-winning news reporter. Clients include The Guardian, The Telegraph, Coaching at Work, Construction News, HSJ and Museums Journal. My expertise is in the public sector and I enjoy covering complex debates about how to run services and change people's lives. I also specialise in writing about the NHS, academia and workplaces. But I've covered everything from the supernatural to showbiz, from culture to care homes, and am happy to work over a broad range of subjects. See samples below and my blog to find out more.
Recently I did some work for a fascinating organisation, Ieso Digital Health , which provides online CBT to people with common mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, OCD and phobia. The company is an example of how private companies can add value to the health system. It is doing something genuinely innovative, and meeting a pressing human need. Without Ieso, waiting lists for talking therapies would only get longer. And what about people for whom face-to-face talking therapy is unsuitable - anyone who is immobile, in full time work or just shy? They would lose the chance to benefit from the discretion and accessibility of online therapy. If Ieso did not exist, you would have to invent it. I don't want a privatised NHS, but it's difficult to argue against providers like this entering the market.
