ABOUT ME

I grew up in Somerset, and  I have lived in Bristol since moving here for uni when I was 20. After deciding to make Bristol my home, I worked in various roles, mainly in marketing, engagement and communications, for community focussed organisations, and for a short time, for the NHS, never quite finding my 'thing'.

However, in 2017, I started volunteering for Bristol Mind as a listener on MindLine, and found this work so rewarding, I decided I'd like to do this kind of work full time and subsequently enrolled on and completed my Counselling Certificate at UWE. I then went on to do my Integrative Counselling Diploma at Iron Mill College in Exeter.

 

Whilst completing my diploma, I volunteered as a counsellor for the Swan Project in Bristol, gaining specialist knowledge and understanding of supporting clients with addiction. Alongside this, I worked, and still do for a day a week, as a one to one Recovery Practitioner at Hawkspring - a charity that supports addiction recovery with a whole family approach. ​​​​
