Is this a mental health service?

As I am not a qualified mental health professional (e.g. counsellor or therapist), no this is not a mental health service. This is simply a place to discuss mental health and wellness. Everything included in Mindful Discoveries is purely my experiences/opinions/understandings. I just want people who are feeling low or struggling with their mental wellbeing to have a place to go where they feel safe, can learn more about mental health and feel uplifted. I have considered becoming a counsellor/ therapist or coach though and this is something I may do in the future!

How do I purchase your products or artwork?

You can purchase everything direct through this website.

If you wish to purchase any other artwork/commission pieces then please contact me direct through the website, via Instagram/Facebook or email me on mindful.discoveries@aol.com. Anything can be created and all pieces can be completely customised, so if you have an idea in mind then just ask!

If this is a mental health page, why do you offer commission artwork?

Mindful Discoveries was set up just as much to help me as it was to help other people. I love creating artwork and it keeps me feeling positive and happy, so this is why I will always take on commission artwork as well as posting artwork surrounding mental wellness.

Where can I purchase your books?

You can purchase my books directly through this website or on Amazon- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Megan-Dunn/e/B08VJ9KQX3?r

What qualifications do you have?

Although Mindful Discoveries has never been about professional mental health work, I know that for many, it is nice to see what qualifications people hold.  

Here are my qualifications: 
- BA Honours Degree  - Education with Special Needs and Disability (this included studying mental health/illness)
- Level 3 Child Psychology Diploma
- Level 2 Counselling Skills Certificate
- Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing of Children and Young People Certificate / Designated Senior Mental Health Lead Training
- Zero Suicide Alliance Training
- Qualified 'SHOUT' Mental Health Crisis Volunteer

How do you create your artwork?

Most of my art is created on my IPad using an app called Procreate or Sketchbook. However, I do also use watercolour and acrylic paints. 

I took Art and Design at GCSE and A-Level but aside from that I am self taught. Especially when it comes to digital art as this is something I never tried until I set up Mindful Discoveries. 

If you still have a question that is not answered please feel free to get in touch and ask me!
