About The Frame

The Frame is an independent mental health magazine publishing writing, art, poetry and lived experience.  

The first issue of The Frame was put together on a bit of a wing and a prayer.

I didn’t really know what it would become, whether anyone would be interested, or quite how complicated it would be to make a magazine with no real design or editorial experience.

But I had an idea.

When I was younger and hanging around places like Camden Town, I got a lot of my music education from homemade fanzines: messy, passionate, personal little things picked up in shops, venues and wherever else they appeared.

That spirit stayed with me.

Later, in my work as a therapist, I kept coming back to something simple: often, it’s through sharing our stories that we find our deepest connections. 

And so The Frame was born...
