Media Information
I regularly act as a media consultant on chemical and behavioural addictions and have featured in The Sun, Evening Standard, Scottish Mail, eFinancial and ITV daybreak, amongst many others. I have written articles for well-respected magazines, newspapers and online forums on this issue and given background briefings to researchers and journalists. If you would like to talk to me about featuring in an article or taking part in a news, TV or radio item, then I am experienced in this area.
Here is a sample of my media work:
