I am an award-winning campaigner, journalist and author. A former editor of the Ecologist magazine Pat has run campaigns for Paul McCartney’s Meat-Free Monday, Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) and Neal’s Yard Remedies.

I am a qualified psychotherapist and the author more than 40 books for adults and children and I was inducted into Who’s Who in 2014.
