Trigger warning – in today’s episode we discuss suicide, mental health struggles, cancer and depression with Grace. You might not feel up to listening to this episode right now – if not, please take care and come back when you feel ready.

Grace is a therapist and best-selling author of children’s books, which are all based on Grace's therapy sheep who inspire her and those she helps. Grace’s aim is to spread messages of hope and positivity to children (aged 5-10) through her books; she wants to help them navigate complex emotions and help them to understand themselves better, all while giving parents a way of talking to their children about their feelings. Grace is an animal lover and has been featured on Channel 5’s The Yorkshire Vet.

We spoke with Grace about:

• Her background and the work she does with her horses and sheep (TV stars of The Yorkshire vet!).
• The stories behind her books about her magical sheep - Merlin, Galahad and Berel.
• Her animals, their personalities (favourite biscuits!) and their healing power.
• The therapy work that Grace does with adults and children and how it happened.
• How horses cured Grace’s post-natal depression.
• How Grace wants to help children and teenagers through mental health struggles and how she herself had struggled from a very young age.
• The instant gratification and constant dopamine hits provided by it and how easily accessible information is.
• How children and adults are helped with regulation and a sense of calm by animals and being outside.
• How Grace works with the Yorkshire vet (and sheep agility!!)
