"The art of creating problems that weren't even there"

Hi everyone, I’m back this issue with a mental health article that I hope you all find useful. It’s been five years of writing for the magazine for me now, since 2018, and five years since getting my qualification in counselling and psychotherapy which I was studying for around the same time I began writing for you all. Having covered various topics and done several interviews, I decided this edition to go back to basics and cover a subject that I’ve been a big champion and advocate for over the years, which is our mental health.

We’ve all done it at some point but I feel that for Transgender people, particularly at the start of their journey, it’s almost part and parcel of the process. I’m definitely someone who was prone to it until I discovered some coping mechanisms.
