About Me
I'm Fiona L Brown. Author of books and various other written things. Academic Researcher (PhD) with a particular focus on stories told through self-narrative and in relation to trauma using a feminist and intersectional lens and autofiction as a mode. I also lead on development and delivery of Business and Creative Industries programmes and have a keen interest in the use of Writing as an Creative Therapy, facilitating workshops for both adults and children. Based in Essex/London, I live with my husband, children, dog and 3 elderly cats.
With over a decade of experience in Education as a Lecturer, Assessor, IQA and Trainer alongside a prior successful career in both the public and private sector, I'm well placed to teach, deliver, examine and advise within my specialist areas and across sectors. I'm trained and certified in Counselling Skills and Mental Health First Aid and an Associate Member of APCCA.
As an academic researcher (PhD) and with a Masters Degree and PG Cert in my specialist fields, I have exceptional research skills and knowledge on current issues across a range of areas including Writing for self-narration particularly in times of trauma; Memoir and Life Writing; Journaling and Creative Writing for therapeutic purposes; use of various narrative modes as a lens for self-reflection.
