I write about the psychology of connection. Why so many of us feel alone in an over-connected, AI-filled world, and what actually helps to build a life with more friendship, love and community.

I also support purpose-driven founders building better-for-you wellness products and services.

I'm a writer and angel investor with an MSc in Psychology, plus wellness certifications like coaching, meditation teaching and energy healing. Before that, I was a Chartered Accountant in corporate finance, and my first business was photography. Now my work focuses on how we can live happier, healthier, more connected lives, even as the world speeds up around us. 

My 20s looked successful from the outside, but I often felt lost and alone. Working out why, and what actually helps us connect better to ourselves, others and our environment, took me down a different path.

My newsletter, Science & Soul, shares the most useful things I come across: practical psychology for relationships, confidence and wellbeing, plus the things we can sense matter just as much, like intuition, community and nature. I write especially for millennials who grew up in an interesting time and, like me, want to succeed in life and work... and make the world a little better in ways that they uniquely can.

Hello, I'm Jess

More about me →

I back purpose-driven founders building companies that support healthier, happier lives, including better food and beverage products and health and wellbeing technology. My investments include JustPark (exited), Soul Fruit, Olly's, NOLO, The Cheeky Panda, Kradle AI and WAVI, and I previously co-led the UK angel network Techsmart Venture Partners.

I often find companies as a customer fan first, because I love what they make. I invest in a handful of companies a year, always in revenue-generating better-for-you products. If that's you, please get in touch.

I read every message myself but may not reply to them all. If you don't hear back, it is not a fit for my portfolio this time but I wish you every success. You can connect with me on LinkedIn so I can follow your journey.

My first book is packed with ideas and practices to survive and thrive during the modern loneliness epidemic in this age of AI. I write about why so many of us feel alone in an over-connected world, what the latest psychology research and classic spiritual wisdom say and how to build a life where you feel seen, known and cared for. In all honesty, it's the book I wish I had in my 20s.

Potential agents and publishers: I would love to hear from you.

Never Feel Alone Again (working title)

Why are birthrates falling in global cities today? For my Psychology masters dissertation I interviewed millennial women in London about their expectations and experiences of motherhood. I learned that the support, stability and time to care for the children they want to have keep moving out of reach. The dissertation received a distinction-level mark and the study is headed for psychology journal publication.

Journalists: I discuss declining millennial birthrates, loneliness, connection and the psychology of modern life.

"Jess was an absolute pleasure to work with! During mental health week, my colleagues and I put an event together themed around 'Kindness' - being kind to yourself and your mental health. Jess was a speaker at the event and shared really helpful resources. Her knowledge on the subject matter was obvious - real gems that attendees took on and implemented in their everyday lives, this was validated by the feedback we got from attendees."

"Jess has been instrumental in my personal development and growth. She blends quantitative and qualitative skills, bringing a deep understanding of how business from her time in finance, which gave her empathy for the challenges I faced during the most intense periods of work in my career after selling my company to Google. From here, she brought rigor and process into the 'soft' work of personal development. Working with Jess unlocked a greater sense of calm, and a better understanding of my emotional landscape."
