Meet the Author – Dr Helen Haynes

Join us in-store to meet practising Consultant Psychiatrist and author Dr Helen Haynes.
Her novel, A Bridge Across Minds, takes readers into the world of old age psychiatry through the intertwined stories of two psychiatrists who find themselves on opposite sides of the doctor-patient relationship.
Drawing on Helen's clinical experience, this compassionate and thought-provoking story explores mental health, the pressures faced by healthcare professionals, and the importance of human connection.
Come along to meet Helen, chat about her writing and pick up a personally signed copy.
Whether you're looking for something strange and supernatural or a moving story that explores the complexities of the human experience, we'd love to welcome you to Chapters & Chai.
