I am an experienced trainer and manager of 3rd sector mental health organisations. I have been working in the field in various capacities since 1999. This experience has given me opportunities to gain a vast understanding and knowledge of mental health experiences and the impact it has on an individual's life. This experience helps me to be authentic and to bring my training to life. It also enables me to offer effective consultation on how to promote positive mental health within the workplace.
