Having battled with anxiety, depression, panic attacks and other mental health issues for many years and now completely recovered, she is passionate about sharing her happiness and positivity with the public and encouraging people to talk about mental health with the aim of getting the help they need.

Born and bred in London, and with a degree in Business Studies, Chrissy B’s portfolio career spans across human resources, web and graphic design, and press and community outreach projects before she found a niche in TV presenting.

Over the years she has presented Your Say, a controversial current affairs show, two women’s TV shows, and another that focussed on helping people find solutions to life’s problems. Since June 2012, she has been the Executive Producer and host of her own programme – The Chrissy B Show which is the UK’s only show dedicated to mental health and wellbeing.

She also founded the MHDChallenge (Mental Health Dance Challenge) which is the world’s first ever dance challenge in support of mental health. The dance consists of moves that encourage a person to fight back against depression and win. She is currently touring schools teaching children about the importance of their mental health and teaching them the dance.
