About Me

Welcome to Mind Matters!

Hello, Substack community! I’m Dom, and in 2024, I took the exciting (and slightly terrifying) leap into writing full-time about psychology. Discovering Substack has been a fantastic surprise. It feels like the perfect place to make this journey happen, surrounded by an inspiring community of curious minds.

A little about me:

I’m a psychologist with a deep passion for mental wellbeing and human behavior. I hold a BSc (Honours) in Psychology & Counselling, accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), and an MSc in the Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London. My independent research focused on psychotic disorders. I also mentor MSc students through KCL’s Mentoring Hub.

Beyond academia, I recently published my first book, What Makes a Resilient Mind?, where I explore how we can strengthen our psychological immune system and cultivate resilience in everyday life.
