I am a qualified Education Mental Health Practitioner and I am currently currently retraining as an Occupational Therapist.

I have three years’ experience working as an Educational Mental Health Practitioner in UK schools, where I supported children and young people with their mental wellbeing through delivering low intensity CBT interventions. This role strengthened my communication, motivational and problem-solving skills, as I regularly helped young people identify challenges, set meaningful goals and develop strategies to improve their wellbeing. I regularly used active listening, empathy and questioning techniques to help individuals explore their thoughts, feelings and challenges. Alongside my occupational therapy training, this experience has given me a strong understanding of behaviour change, resilience building and person-centred support, which aligns closely with the role of an online life coach.
