Welcome

Hello, and welcome.

I’m Cari Mayhew, a professional content writer with several years of experience creating informative, engaging, and search-optimised online content.

This website showcases my writing portfolio, from my early work in SEO content writing through to my current focus on healthcare communication, psychology, mental health, and evidence-based self-improvement.

My writing career began producing high-quality web content for affiliate and commercial websites, including buying guides, product reviews, comparison articles, informational content, “how-to” guides, and long-form educational resources. During that time, I learned not only how to write for readers, but also how to write content that performs well in search engines without sacrificing accuracy or readability.

As my interests evolved, so did my writing.

Today I specialise in translating complex psychological and scientific ideas into clear, engaging articles for a general audience. My academic background in neuroscience sparked a lasting fascination with how the brain, behaviour, and mental health interact, and my work increasingly explores topics such as psychological wellbeing, addiction, trauma, behaviour change, motivation, and personal development.

Whether I’m explaining a neuroscience concept, discussing mental health research, or writing about evidence-based approaches to self-improvement, my goal is always the same: to make reliable information understandable, practical, and genuinely useful.

I believe good healthcare writing requires more than simply reporting facts. It means understanding the evidence, recognising uncertainty where it exists, avoiding sensationalism, and helping readers interpret research in context. Whenever appropriate, I signpost readers towards reputable organisations and trusted sources of further support.

My recent work includes long-form articles published through my Puzzle Pizza publication on Medium, where I write thoughtful, research-driven pieces exploring psychology, mental health, neuroscience, and the science of human behaviour. These articles reflect the direction in which my writing continues to develop: accessible, evidence-based, and written to encourage critical thinking rather than simply offering easy answers.

Alongside healthcare writing, I continue to draw upon my broader content writing experience. Over the years I have written accurately about subjects where getting the details right matters, including finance, legal topics, safety, software, food and nutrition, and technology. I enjoy taking subjects that many people find intimidating and making them approachable and engaging.

From an SEO perspective, I remain committed to producing content that serves both readers and search engines. I hold certification in SEMrush Keyword Research and have experience using Surfer SEO to produce content aligned with search intent. I understand topical authority, internal linking, information architecture, and the importance of creating genuinely valuable content that earns long-term visibility.

Quality has always been central to my work. Every article is carefully researched, thoroughly proofread, and written in a style that balances clarity with depth. Whether writing 800 words or 8,000, I aim to keep readers engaged from the opening paragraph through to the conclusion.

If you’re looking for a writer who combines SEO expertise with a growing specialism in psychology, mental health, healthcare communication, and evidence-based self-improvement, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
