Bev Aisbett is an author, illustrator, cartoonist and counsellor. She has had over 10 books published, most notably the national bestsellers LIVING WITH IT: A SURVIVOR'S GUIDE TO PANIC ATTACKS and TAMING THE BLACK DOG: A GUIDE TO OVERCOMING DEPRESSION. Over the last 15 years, Bev's freelance illustrations and cartoons have appeared in the major press and numerous community and corporate publications. An experienced counsellor, Bev has designed a unique recovery program designed to educate people about anxiety and provide them with the tools with which to build their own recovery, just as Bev herself has done. The Art of Anxiety workshop (formerly Working with IT) has since guided thousands of people in the 'art' of effectively managing anxiety and related conditions since 1998. Bev Aisbett is the author and illustrator of several highly regarded self-help texts for sufferers of anxiety and depression. A trained counsellor, Bev is also the facilitator of the Art of Anxiety recovery program in Melbourne. For those unable to attend her workshop in person, she offers a home study version, The Art of Anxiety DVD Workshop, as well as other online resources and services. She conducts lectures to assist sufferers of depression and anxiety within metropolitan and regional Victoria. An award-winning filmmaker, Miranda has combined her passions for storytelling and social justice on diverse projects; from devised theatre with trafficked women, to running film workshops in a refugee camp. Originally training and working as an actress, Miranda shifted her focus to writing and directing, especially driven to create strong complex roles for women. Miranda’s short films have played at international festivals including Clermont-Ferrand, Edinburgh, Sydney and Melbourne. Her feature film Undertow premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival in 2018.
