Speaker Bio:
Alec Wells is a former police officer and paramedic who dedicated the majority of his career to covert policing, including working against organised crime and engaging in undercover operations. After taking a career break, he joined the ambulance service and became a mentor and elite paramedic. During his time in these high-stress roles, Alec became exposed to trauma and realised that he had experienced adverse childhood experiences that contributed to his sensitivity to it.
After being diagnosed with complex PTSD (now referred to as complex trauma), he was told that he would have to live with it for the rest of his life. This led him to explore Achology and trauma in depth, inspiring him to regain his confidence and completely transform himself. Alec's journey has led him to find a new sense of purpose in serving and helping others, which he feels was limited in his previous careers due to organizational constraints.
Now, he operates independently, utilising his knowledge and experiences to support individuals wherever opportunities arise.
