Professional profile

From lived experience to professional practice

My work is founded on lived experiences, reflective practices and professional experience. I set aside time and space to explore, curate and communicate insights in an intentional way.

My understanding comes from a lifetime of lived and living experiences and ongoing growth. This includes making sense of my Autistic and ADHD experiences and exploring my differences, strengths and support needs. I also reflect on my mental health recovery through a neuroaffirmative lens, drawing on my therapeutic journey.

My professional background also includes:

  • Working as a Senior Peer Support Worker in NHS Learning Disability and Autism Services
  • Working as an Expert with Lived Experience Co-trainer and Peer Mentor for the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism
  • Training with ImROC to become an Autism Peer Support Worker and Autism Peer Support Worker Supervisor
  • Completing ImROC’s Peer Support and Preparation for Work Training - Mental Health
  • Working as a Strategic Expert by Experience and Project Worker for Grapevine’s Expert by Experience Co-production Service
  • An ongoing commitment to personal and professional development (this means reading a lot of books and attending a lot of workshops, webinars and conferences!)

Testimonials
Brain in Hand logo
“Remie is a remarkable and gifted woman. She kindly agreed to be the keynote speaker at our whole company's away day, which involved presenting via TEAMS to a room of over 100 people. Not only did she deliver the most moving, insightful and thoughtful presentation I have ever witnessed but she also held the attention of every person in the room for 45 minutes, with several of us moved to tears. It was human storytelling at its best and most powerful.”
