My Story
Hi, I’m Sophiya Shahid, and I’ve recently graduated with a degree in Journalism. I’ve always been passionate about talking to people, uncovering their stories and bringing their experiences to life through interviews, research and writing.
My interest in mental well-being comes from lived experience. Like many young adults, I’ve benefited from the support of mental health experts, and I’ve felt firsthand how transformative the right guidance can be. According to Young Minds, one in five young people in the UK had a probable mental health condition in 2023, and this is only rising.
This website shares inspirational personal stories of professionals in Ealing with resources to help residents improve their well-being.
