My latest book called 'Preventing mental health issues in childhood' is a follow on book to 'Just Listen to your children' and 'Emotional Intelligence for Parents'. I  explore more indepth my experiences of my childhood that affected my adult life today. It highlights how our parenting although best intentioned can be thecause ofmental health issues later in our child's adult life.

If you have your own experience on this subject that you would like to contribute, then comment on this blog - thanks

In 2021, I was nominated by a young man who I met 3 years for the individual category of BBC Radio 4 programme 'All in the mind'.  Much to my delight, I was selected as one of three finalists. On June 28 2021, the winner was chosen at a special event at the Welcome Foundation in London by a panel of mental health specialists. Although, I was not the winner on the night, I feel proud to have been selected as a finalist by such a prestigious programme.
