I'm an award-winning freelance journalist for national newspapers, magazines and the internet. I also write lifestyle features for the Mail on Sunday's YOU magazine.

I worked as health writer and deputy health editor on The Sun's health section, and health editor at internet service provider, Freeserve.com, before going freelance in 2002. I won the 2003 Online Health Writer of the Year at the Medical Journalism Awards, as well as being shortlisted twice, and co-wrote'Sugar Addicts' Diet' with celebrity fitness trainer Nicki Waterman (HarperCollins, published 6 December 2004).

I have been a monthly 'How to' columnist for Psychologies magazine for four years, as well as writing psychology and wellbeing articles for them. I was shortlisted for a Mind Media Award for my blog www,mentalhealthwise.com where I write articles about mental health.

I have started to blog about colour and colourful things at www.thecolourfile.com and on instagram @the_colour_file.
