All About Me

I have been actively public speaking since 2015 when I started volunteering for the Time to Change Wales (TTCW) campaign, a national mental health movement to raise awareness of stigma and discrimination. Using my lived experience of many years dealing with depression and anxiety, I found my calling in taking opportunities to share my personal experiences in a forum that would enable me to influence others. I do not share my story for any personal gain, if I can help one person to overcome their own challenges or improve their understanding of the subject, my work can be incredibly worthwhile and rewarding.

Over the years, I have given talks to many different clients from different sectors including:

Royal Air Force (RAF)
Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
Swansea Bay University Health Board (SBUHB)
Swansea University
LBS Builders Merchants

I always tailor my talks to meet the needs of my clients, designing engaging presentations and materials that are focused on the outcomes that each client wants to achieve. Don't just take my word for it, check out some of the Testimonials from previous audience members. Below is a selection of just some of the topics I routinely cover but I am always happy to have a conversation about how my skills and experience can be moulded to meet your needs:
