Creativity and Football E06
Paul Balfe is no football expert. But he is a male creative who was willing to chat to us about his mental health and his experiences with anxiety.
Paul is Creative Director and Founder of Pennybridge Creative, an independent design studio at home on the Gold Coast of Australia.
Paul shares his battle with anxiety as a result of the recent Queensland flooding and the steps he took to improve his mental wellbeing. From hypnotherapist to psychologist, Paul tried a number of different ways to tackle his challenges.
He's gone on to curate an exhibition about creatives' relationship with their own mental health, titled, Welcome to Yourself. Find out more about the exhibition here.
