Particular interest in suicide prevention, mental illness, bereavement, nature, death culture and ritual practice.

My debut book, The Bleeding Tree : A Pathway Through Grief Guided by Forests, Folk Tales and the Ritual Year, was published by Rider/Ebury in May 2023 and is available in hardback, ebook and audiobook.
