My Experience and Passion

My interest in mental health began almost ten years ago, when I was 18 and living in a homeless hostel, facing significant difficulties of my own.

​

After rebuilding my life, I worked in addiction treatment, supporting groups and delivering one-to-one keywork sessions, before becoming a coordinator at a Mind crisis centre.

​

I later gained my Level 4 counselling and psychotherapy qualifications and began a Psychology degree, which I am now in the final year of, with plans for postgraduate study and research next year. My practice brings together a rare blend of professional training, academic and scientific/ research skills, over half a decade of frontline experience, and lived understanding.
