Our Style
We are looking for articles and reviews that inform, entertain, inspire, challenge, engage and empower; promoting self care, mindfulness, wellbeing, positive mental health and engagement with Therapy. We welcome submissions in the form of narrative; explorative articles and blogs; the sharing of experiences and knowledge from a personal or professional perspective. Your piece will be written in an informal narrative, which to us means to write as if you were speaking to a friend. Using your own inflection, tone and style. We want to share your voice, your words and showcase your knowledge and experiences. We are also happy to accept submissions in the form of illustrations, art, cartoons, caption pieces, poetry or fiction. We look for pieces that are topical, mental health or therapy related or simply human!
