I am Marc an Expert through Experience – I have lived & shared experience of mental ill health.
I established EXE TRAINERS in 2014, born out of a need to give people with lived experience a chance to use their experience to become trainers, and help rebuild lives and improve overall life confidence.
I have spent time in hospitals and community-based settings. Along with being in very dark places, which i have always managed to bounce back from!
I work in a person-centred way - It is a non-directive approach to being with another; that believes in the others potential and ability to make the right choices for him or her self.
I believe my approach is UNIQUE, CHALLENGING & HIGHLY EFFECTIVE and offers an insight that other training organisations can’t deliver the same. You will not find beige training here!
I have over 30 years experience of working in social work, mental health, housing, community teams and much more
I have been a social worker, manager, support worker, housing and homelessness officer and more.
I have been an associate lecturer at Sheffield Hallam university I taught nursing students about the “service user experience and centrality” co-production and connecting communities/capacity building
I have been a research associate on several mental health-based research projects.
I have dedicated my life to sharing my story, experience and skills to help people understand and manage their own and others mental health.
