Shashank Mishra

Shashank lives and works in Liverpool. He is currently completing his training in person-centred counselling. Shashank obtained BA (hons.) in creative writing and media and masters in creative writing and film history from Bangor University, Wales. Shashank has worked as a Chef in different kitchens around UK and Europe. He now uses his skills as a chef to cook with clients in a drug and alcohol rehab as a way of talking about issues in a different, non-formal setting and teaching an important life skill as well. He also uses his creative writing background to promote “free-writing” techniques as a way of accessing ideas and memories from the unconscious mind. Shashank has long been interested in the potential of psychedelics as an effective way to tackle drug addiction and alcoholism, childhood trauma and promote spirituality.
