I am an artist and an inspirational speaker who talks about my incredible journey through the mental health system. I am passionate about creativity for health and wellbeing. I am Trustee for National Centre for Creative Health, part of the steering group for Social Prescribing Network and Patient Ambassador for the College of Medicine and Integrated Health .

I am passionate about helping others to achieve more than they are led to believe and might think they can. From being bed-bound and heavily medicated to standing in front of large crowds to enlighten and inspire their journey regardless of whom or where they are.

I am also a mental health awareness, suicide awareness,  suicide prevention, and anti-stigma campaigner and strive to improve services for those still in the system. Having never had a voice while I was in that system, I now make sure that people can hear the service user's voice and how it feels to be lost in the system.
