Welcome.

I’m a UK-based freelance writer, editor, author and writing tutor who has been writing professionally since 1996.

My principal specialisms are health, food, diet and nutrition, with a particular emphasis on food allergy, food intolerance, coeliac disease, gut health and digestive disorders – but I also write regularly on other allergies, dermatology, skin health and men’s health.

I’ve written several books – my latest being Coeliac Disease: what you need to know – and journalism for The Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Guardian Weekend, The Irish Times and many other papers and health publications.

I’m a member of the National Union of Journalists, the Guild of Health Writers and the Society of Authors.

I co-founded and run the FreeFrom Skincare Awards.

I also tutor and offer advice on writing for publication.
