My background is working as a keyworker and counsellor for young people in care. I have gained extensive knowledge and experience with the added benefit of being a Empathetic Childline Voluntary Counsellor as my training is updated every week to meet the growing demands young people face. I work with children age from 5 years old to 18 years and young adults up to the age of 21 years.
I have been so honoured to work in a young people unit working with refugees, and highly traumatised individuals. They truly inspire me, and I have learnt a lot from working with them. It has been sometimes challenging, but the end results when they let go of their trauma and greet me with a beaming smile is so rewarding to see them just let go. A tip that helps them is I would write on all their mirrors I am enough (Marisa Peer) as how we look at ourselves has a profound effect on our mental health and self-worth this helped change their beliefs system.
