What LEXs Brings

Rigour, humanity and lived experience in the same room

Lived experience leadership is about whether the knowledge people gain through mental health challenges, caring and recovery can influence decisions. LEXs works on the authority, support and accountability that make that influence possible.

​

I bring lived and living experience together with social work practice, senior service management and doctoral research. The approach differs across consultancy, training, supervision and therapy, with each service having its own purpose and boundaries.
