AMJ Blog
I have been writing a blog for some time. I use it to share my experiences and views on mental health – I had a breakdown in 2014/15 and live with depression and anxiety – and work life balance. I am passionate about working on my wellbeing and helping others to achieve and maintain the right work life balance and wellbeing approaches for them. My blog – along with my Twitter feed – comes with one health warning – if you read it you may have to hear about some of my other passions – my family, golf, Liverpool FC, communications, the Boston Red Sox, politics and the West Wing.

Eating disorders: listening, not lecturing, is the key to recovery. We must stop the failing copy and paste approach and instead have hope.
Eating disorders: we need to be offering help that actually helps and recognises that eating disorders are not about food but feelings.
