About me

I have a degree in Agriculture from the University of Aberdeen and five years experience in coordinating support for farmers to transition out of livestock agriculture into fairer, more sustainable land management. As a clinical psychotherapist with a specialty in trauma work, I am also interested in the impact on farmer mental health of caring for animals that are going to be killed.
