Advocacy and faith
Some things get harder because we are expected to hide them. An illness nobody can see. A diagnosis that came late. A prayer that has not been answered. I use my voice, my radio work and my faith to bring those things into the open, so people get the understanding and support they need.
Advocacy
I know what it is to have to fight to be believed. Now I sit in the rooms where decisions about mental health, learning disability and autism services are made, and I make sure the people who live with those decisions are heard.
That includes NHS People Participation in North East London, The Collaborative and Project Social.
Autism and late diagnosis in adults
Chronic pain and invisible illness
Mental health and patient voice
Identity and belonging
Faith
“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”
My Christian faith shapes how I see purpose, dignity, truth and stewardship. It is not something I add on top of the work. It is how I listen, and it is why I believe people deserve better.
Through Amplify the Gospel, I help churches and Christian communicators work out what God has given them to carry, then build the people, purpose and platforms to carry it well.
Coming soon
Honest Christian conversations about what people carry quietly. A new project I am building with REMEC.
Chronic illness. Mental health. Unanswered prayer. Church hurt. Family wounds. Shame. Things many of us carry into church and never say out loud. The Unsaid will make room to talk about them without losing sight of God. Not to expose anyone. To heal, and to reconnect.

Programme direction
The Reconcilers
Today I help shape programming that puts testimony, listening and practical reconciliation first.
The common thread is ownership: of your story, your decisions, your voice, your faith, and your right to be heard in the systems that shape your life.
