Shahroo's work has been featured widely on BBC Radio 1, the Telegraph, Psychologies and Red. magazine and she ran a sell-out workshop at The School of Life. Her work has been well-received by the field of mainstream personal development and she was invited to chair the One in Five panel on mental health for Women of the World at Southbank Centre.
