Thank you for your interest in The Bearded Therapist.

My purpose is to destigmatise and demystify the topic of mental illness through good old-fashioned vulnerability.

I am an accomplished therapist, public speaker and author with complex post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder and ADHD. For years I suffered in silence, desperately trying to navigate trauma, bulimia, substance abuse, addiction, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.

Fortunately, I was able to find the help I desperately needed.

My mission is simple: to talk openly about mental illness and provide guidance to those who are struggling with their mental health.

I don’t claim to have all the right answers, but I have learned a thing or two in my journey from languishing to managing – and I am so grateful that I am here to share some of this knowledge with you.

Please join me in this fight. Together we can smash the stigma around mental illness, and help people get the support they deserve.
