I started my counselling journey at Childline as a volunteer before doing my undergraduate degree in Psychology and my master's degree in Integrative Psychotherapy. These days I run things here at Offload. When I'm not working, I like swimming, dying my hair weird colours, hanging out with my baby niece and wailing along to pop punk tunes from 2007.

I’m a communications professional with experience across the higher education, arts and third sectors, and a freelance culture writer featured in several major publications and independent zines. I'm supporting the Offload team with communications and copywriting advice, particularly writing engaging and effective bids. Outside work, you'll find me at gigs, being clumsy at yoga or hanging out with my cat.

I am a trainee therapist with experience in working with vulnerable adults. I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology and am currently pursuing a MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. In my free time, I enjoy catching up with family and friends, meditating, finding new places to eat, and listening to music.

My counselling journey began 4 years ago, and it has been a wonderful and interesting life changing experience. I am a volunteer at The Offload Project and I'm super excited to be part of something so unique. I work part time as an Autism Family Advisor and teach a Mind & Body Balance Class on an evening. In my spare time I love to be outside and walk my dog and take as many photos as possible!

I began my counselling journey after qualifying as a teacher & completing a masters degree in Mental Health and Well-being in Education. I’m now training with a Master’s in Person-Centred & Experiential Psychotherapy. I also have a placement with a bereavement service alongside TOP. I love coffee & will often be found sat in a coffee-shop window watching the world go by or binge-watching Greys Anatomy, repeatedly. I like to challenge myself & have recently found a love for running, with a goal of completing a half-marathon in 2023.

I’m currently doing a Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy at Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute. This constitutes something of a career shift after being an actor for 10 years and a drama teacher for 15 but hey life is about change so lets embrace it!

I have always been a people person and have a passion for helping others. I am currently studying for a Bachelors degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy whilst helping people find accommodation for a living. In my sparetime I like to keep fit, train in martial arts, keep up with my baby girl and drink endless amounts of coffee.

After experiencing some significant life-changing events, I realised the power of mental health support and decided to make a career change into studying psychotherapy. I am now part way through my studies at Sherwood Psychotherapy Training institute. It's not just a profession for me; it's a calling to help others navigate their own life journeys and find healing and growth. It’s a delight to be a member at the Offload Project. It’s a great feeling to contribute and be involved with something so meaningful. In my free time I enjoy art, meditation, nature walks and Photography.
