Why work with me?

Do you feel like

  • you’re getting a lot of input on emotions, mental health and “the nervous system” from different sources and you don’t know who to trust?

  • you want to be able to understand yourself, and others around you, better?

  • you want to provide your customers, students or patients with evidence-based information that will help them in their work, studies, or recovery?

  • your team would benefit from better cohesion and understanding for each other?

  • you want to be able to read and critically evaluate scientific information from the media or even primary sources?

I can help you!

I run webinars and workshops to give you university-level teaching on the human mind and brain. Possible topics include but are not limited to:

  • The psychology and neuroscience of emotions: What are they for, how do they develop, and how do we cope?

  • Understanding our children’s emotional development: How parents can help teach resilience and emotional maturity without burning out.

  • Lifespan cognitive development or how to remain cognitively fit as we get older

  • Understanding social relationships through the lens of psychology and neuroscience - how to understand each other and communicate better

  • Starting out in scientific literacy: How to read (and make sense of) scientific papers in psychology

Get in touch if you would like to organise a bespoke talk or workshop - I’m happy to create a custom offer for you!
