After that experience she shifted into coaching, public speaking, and facilitating peer support around issues in mental health education and practice.

Michael Dewan-Herrick
Michael Dewan-Herrick is a psychotherapist and educator with over four decades of clinical practice. Based in London, he works with individuals seeking clarity of purpose, alignment of values, and greater coherence in how they live and think.
Through his platform Attention Bazaar, Michael explores the modern marketplace of ideas — where information competes relentlessly for attention and allegiance. His work is not driven by ideology, but by discernment. He examines what strengthens character and psychological stability, what distorts it, and how individuals can retain what is constructive while discarding what is corrosive.
Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and cultural analysis, Michael addresses questions of meaning, responsibility, and moral development. He challenges reflexive group thinking on all sides and advocates for thoughtful integration rather than reaction. At its core, Attention Bazaar is an invitation to think carefully, live deliberately, and resist the pressures of intellectual fashion.
