I'm an expert by experience in complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). I talk about trauma and tailor the speech to the audience's current level of understanding. I give speeches to both mental health professionals and lay people. I talk about the mental health system, particularly on how mental health is treated when compared with physical health - physical health is treated by specialists rather than generalists, whereas mental health is treated by generalists rather than specialists. I also provide educational talks on how C-PTSD has affected my life and my difficulty in finding a therapist who knew how to treat it.

I have been an active member of a Toastmasters speakers' club for over four years and have finished one complete Pathway. I spoke in front of audiences of 750 people for two local, charitable events. I've spoken professionally at Nottingham Trent University to their MSc students about my experiences of assessment, formulation, and intervention while having therapy. I've also done a webinar for UMHAN - they mentor students with mental health conditions - about how C-PTSD impacted my ability to study.
