Youth worker.
Mental health trainer.
The background that looks unconventional is the point. Fifteen years working in movement, youth work, and the arts shaped the way I train. I understand how people actually learn, not just what the manual says.

“Chris has delivered training across our local, national and international programmes. His awareness, diplomacy and drive, and his ability to see a programme through, were things we benefited from enormously. He can be trusted to shape and evolve the right approach for any group, and to bring people with him every step of the way.
The proof is in
the room.
"This course is first class, and run by a trainer who really knows what he's talking about. Not talking at you, but to you. I simply cannot recommend Chris and the course highly enough."
"I recently used my ASIST training to do a suicide intervention. I felt much more prepared than I have done in the past, and I am pleased to say that the individual concerned is now getting the support they need."
"Chris delivered the training sensitively and at a great pace. There was a great supportive environment throughout and I will use the skills I learned in all aspects of my life."
