Brava Julia Samuel!
An eloquent, compassionate voice
At present, two of my most treasured living voices to learn from are the renowned psychotherapist Julia Samuel, whose wise “Monday Top Tips” are a fantastic way to start the week, and Christopher Burns, the genteel author of ‘Poetry Changes Lives’, who also posts regularly on instagram.
I enjoy the very wholesome content of novelist Justine Picardie, whose feed is a reassuring blend of Parisian fashion, English garden peas and black labradors, and her charismatic grog-tray-attending hubby Philip Astor.
It’s often said that social media is flooded with war, swearing and over-sexualisation, yet if you know where to look, you can find a trove of literary, artistic and most civilised content.


Thank you so much for your very kind words - you’ve made my day!
