Juliette is a comedian, writer, broadcaster and mental health advocate who has toured the world with her shows, and has had consecutive sold-out Fringe runs for several years. She has had a complex mental health history over time, with 13 different diagnoses in total. Juliette speaks candidly about C-PTSD, eating disorders, and a period of hospitalisation in her teens. She also discusses how she now interprets psychotic hallucinations had in the past, and how she currently manages her day to day mental fitness. These experiences have informed her shows, work that creates accessible, transformative and positive learning experiences for her audiences.Listen along to Juliette’s songs at this Spotify playlist.
