Beschreibung

I have experience of writing, editing, and social media, in fields ranging from psychology, wellbeing, food, travel, and culture. I'm creative and I love working with my hands -- painting, woodwork, making and building things, weeding and helping out with plants. I studied photography for several years before going to uni, so I'm always happy to help out with this too (e.g. marketing, media, and creative projects). As an animal lover, I'm keen to care for and learn about animals -- I've previously volunteered with birds and cats. I'm a quick learner and always happy to try new things.

I consider myself to be compassionate, curious, calm, respectful, and inclusive. I practice Vipassana meditation and relish learning about different philosophies and ways of life. I love being in nature, close to the sea, and spending time in remote places. In my spare time I enjoy yoga, dance, hiking, cooking, writing, learning about health and natural remedies, singing (jazz), and creating music and art.

My professional background is in mental health, psychology, research, writing, and teaching. I have an undergraduate degree in philosophy and a master's degree in psychology. I'm a trained therapist and I'm deeply passionate about understanding people and empowering them to live happier, healthier lives.

I have a CELTA certificate and taught English at a women's university in Tokyo in 2017. Following this I took some time out to travel, volunteer, and immerse myself in different cultures. I enjoy connecting with new people as well as learning from and contributing to local communities.

I've done lots of volunteering over the years and worked for numerous charities including a charity in East London, where I provided person-centred support and advice to migrant and refugee women. I also ran educational and activity-based workshops for a disability charity in North London, supporting children and young people with autism and ADHD.
