After working as a mental health clinical and research nurse, I moved on to complete a BA and PhD in social anthropology, including qualitative research in mental health recovery. I am now training in Life Coaching at Stonebridge College as well as exploring creative writing and literature as therapy. I also love poetry, novels, film, twitter @mcdonneller, Pinterest, LinkedIn and blogging - visit my blogs at www.subliminalspaces.wordpress.com and www.nearlybutnotquitevegan.wordpress.com Please also check out my book at Palgrave Macmillan or Amazon sites: Creativity and Social Support in Mental Health: Service Users' Perspectives (2014)
