Author: Gracie Webb

Gracie Webb is a writer and researcher with a first-class degree in Psychology and over seven years of experience studying behavioural change, self-development, and the science of decision-making. She worked for four years as a research assistant in a cognitive behavioural therapy clinical setting, where she observed first-hand the gap between what people know they should do and what they actually do — a gap that sits at the centre of nearly all her writing. Gracie's personal journey through a toxic long-term relationship, the slow process of rebuilding her self-worth, and the year she spent in therapy gave her both the intellectual framework and the personal authority to write about growth with honesty. Her work is rigorous, compassionate, and consistently aimed at the reader who is genuinely trying to change.
