Media interests

I welcome media enquiries on the role of arts, creativity and imagination in supporting mental health, wellbeing, education and social change. I can comment on arts therapies and creative health; digital wellbeing and ethical online practice; artificial intelligence, creativity and mental health; creative approaches to team development in healthcare; psychological safety and reflective practice; and the opportunities and risks of using creative and digital methods in contemporary wellbeing practice.
