Hi, I’m Marie.
I joined the Lived Experience Collective just a few months ago. I bring lived experience of mental health challenges, addiction, and recovery, and I live with epilepsy and alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD). I currently volunteer with organisations including CAVDAS, Recovery Cymru, Voices Action Change (VAC), Caniad, and Adferiad. I’m also training in therapeutic counselling at Bridgend College (Level 4) and hope to qualify as a counsellor in 2026.
