From the Royal Shakespeare Company to primetime TV; from a master’s degree in mindfulness based cognitive therapy from Oxford University to best-selling author; from interviewing the president who shall not be named to delivering a ground-breaking TED Talk. And from a mental health campaigner to being awarded an OBE for services to mental health. 

Ruby’s brought the same mould-breaking establishment questioning and pioneering energy to everything she’s done. 

She also holds Honorary Doctorates from the School of Psychology at The University of East London University of Staffordshire, and Bangor University.   She has been awarded a City Lit Lifetime Fellowship and was until recently Chancellor of Southampton University. 

In the field of mental health, Ruby’s brought support for mental health to a whole new audience discussing complex neurological theory in an accessible and often hilarious way but always with a serious point that we need to reframe the conversation and remove the stigma that mental health illness still carries. Ruby helps us understand how we can take control of our overstressed and over critical minds.

Ruby’s books will be on sale at the event and she will be available for a (time-limited) book signing after the event.

This is a seated event. The Big Top venue is wheelchair accessible.
