Hello, I’m Ken. I’m a writer, artist and strength  coach. I also have over 30 years lived experience with mental illness. 

I want to use this site to provide advice on a whole range of topics affecting our physical and mental health. 

I can help you get stronger and fitter, but these days it’s not enough. 

I hope to expand the conversations into areas of mental health still treated by mainstream media as taboo, for example depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD and addiction. 

I want to share other people’s experiences of these topics too – people who don’t have fancy letters after their names. 

And there’s a reason for that.

Have you noticed that the vast majority of psychiatrists, psychologists and counsellors have never actually had a mental illness? They know the science but not the emotions. 

I want to learn from people who have lived it, are living it and will continue to do so. 

I hope you do too.

Oh and art. There will be lots of art. Welcome.
