Punteha van Terheyden

Are you looking for an interesting, engaging and knowledgable guest or speaker for your project, show, podcast, webinar, seminar or lecture? Then look no further!

I’m a British-Iranian journalist and editor, live with multiple chronic illnesses and disabilities and have a shed load of insight - and a hell of a lot of to say.

I’m happy to to discuss:

  • Journalism

  • Ghostwriting

  • Working for the nationals

  • Freelancing

  • Chronic illness

  • Endometriosis

  • Hypermobile Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome

  • Disability

  • Working or freelancing with chronic illness or disability

  • Diversifying your income as a freelancer

  • Being a woman of colour

  • Misogyny and racism in the media

    If any of these topics sound of interest to you, or if you have something else in mind, please get in touch. I’d love to hear from you.

To give you some idea of what I’ve done in the past, as an alumni at University of Hertfordshire, I regularly hold guest seminars and mentor undergraduates.

I’ve been a guest journalism speaker at City, University of London, and guest lecturer at University of Sheffield and University of Derby.

I love taking part in industry panels, academic seminars, podcasts, and radio shows. You can find out more about some of my contributions here.
