Dr Susannah Redhead
Clinical Psychologist
Susannah lives and works near Cambridge, UK and spends as much time as possible outdoors.
Small print: Susannah is registered with the Health Care Professions Council and received regular clinical supervision from a clinical psychologist working with children.
“Psychology skills are life skills!”
Dr Susannah Redhead qualified as a clinical psychologist in 2010. She’s mainly worked in the NHS since then, with those with mental health issues, physical health problems and learning disabilities. She is passionate about getting evidence-based psychology skills out there, not just to those who are struggling, but to everyone.
She loves getting creative to help communicate psychological ideas, so when there are star dragons and space aurora involved, so much the better!
Listening, writing stories... and poems! and painting!
Watching the sun rise (especially from my cosy bed), drinking tea from an old-fashioned cup and saucer, listening to music. Constantly.
Go team! Knowing I have support around me when things get tough, from friends, family and more, means the world to me.
Russ Daff
Comic Artist & Writer
Russ continues to follow comics today and has his finger on the pulse of kids’ interests, while introducing kids to influences from retro British comics. His love of cartooning and storytelling have found their apex in Tales of the Emotosphere.
"Believe in the power of doodling - Kachow!!!"
Russ Daff is a Cambridge-based comic artist/writer with a passion for good old-fashioned story telling. Russ has been a freelance children’s book illustrator for over 20 years, working with clients including Macmillan, Oxford University Press, Scholastic and Harper Collins. Previously, he made Playstation games after graduating from Falmouth School of Art.
From a young age his imagination knew no bounds and was fed on all the good stuff from the late 1970s: Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Dr Who and Astrix. Then into the 1980s: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Labyrinth and Battle of the Planets. His ability to draw cartoon characters of the day proved a great social icebreaker. To the point where his classmates would ask him to decorate their pencil cases with the latest craze... be it Snoopy, Garfield or Dangermouse.
Drawing, noodling on my bass guitar and keeping fit-ish.
Movies and eating fish & chips at the seaside with my family (that's why I need to keep fit!).
Thought spotting. I ask myself if something is a fact or an unhelpful thought before letting unneccessary worries get me down
