Description

Connection brings me happiness and peace, and I try to live my life with connection at the core of my values. I love learning, and I know that us humans have invaluable things to teach one another. I find happiness in being outside, as much time away from screens as possible, losing time in conversation and laughter with others, exerting energy in physical activity whether that be yoga, swimming, running or hiking. I love to read, historical fiction, poetry, non-fiction. I am motivated by a desire to help. I am passionate about supporting mental health.

More details about your skills

English is my native language and I would be delighted to help others wishing to strengthen their english language. I have a keen interest in supporting individuals mental health and I am currently undergoing training to become a counsellor. I have completed a yearly course in Counselling Skills where I have learned the foundations of helping skills, how to listen actively and provide a safe listening environment. I believe these skills are transferable in many ways. I am now embarking on my second year of training, after which I will begin working as a trainee counsellor. I have completed a BA undergraduate degree comprising of studies in creative writing and mental health studies where I developed writing skills and a foundation knowlege of the underpinnings on mental health. I am now studying a MSc in Psychology to further my knowlege in a field I am incredibly passionate about.
I haven't got experience working directly with children, but I enjoy spending lots of time with my now 8 year old nephew, and my best friends 2 year old son.
