I am the founder of CIC Marbles Lost and Found, a mental health website, community and support group for anyone touched by mental health issues.

The website provides awareness, wellbeing tips and tools, crisis support, local services and more, everything you need to know about mental health and wellbeing in one place.

REG Development Group member

I am an Expert by Experience and I work with REG as a member of the strategic development group and co-facilitate educational workshops.

I joined REG because I am passionate about helping and supporting others, and through my professional experience as a Creative Arts and Music Educator, I am keen to integrate creativity to support recovery and healing.

I have lived experience of complex PTSD, psychosis, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, medications, neurodiversity, and have a keen interest in restorative justice.

Director

I am an expert by experience with anxiety, depression, EUPD, and ADHD. I have worked in psychology for 9 years, with the aim to become a clinical psychologist one day.

As someone who is very passionate about mental health awareness and recovery, I became a part of Plymouth REG because their values align strongly with my own, and so that I could have the opportunity to empower others with my story and lived experience of mental health. I founded D&C Directory as a result of wanting to make mental health services more accessible.

Director

I joined REG because I believe that lived experience perspectives are an invaluable part of mental health recovery and healthcare.

I have a background in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, primarily working in Neurodiversity Education and Support.

I was diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago and learning to understand myself better through this discovery has been life changing for me. As a result, I now use my own experience and knowledge to help others on similar journeys with improving their mental health and their relationships with themselves.

Director

I am a consultant Clinical Psychologist working for Livewell Southwest in recovery services. I have been working with people who have experiences that get labelled as psychosis for many years. We explore different ways of making sense of their experiences and developing different ways of coping with them.

I am interested in how trauma can lead to these kinds of difficulties and how compassion can support recovery. I believe that people who have had their own difficulties have an important role to play in supporting the recovery of others.
