Prior to working with EDNE I gained clinical experience at the charity Anxious Minds after volunteering as a Samaritans telephone listener. I am currently also a freelance counsellor at Tyneside and Northumberland Mind. I have extensive experience as a support working for adults with learning disabilities and Autism, as well as a personal care assistant for a university student in London.

I strongly believe in living a balanced life and am passionate about self-care, enjoying exercise and being outdoors (especially hiking and walking my golden retriever).
