Hello

For four years I worked as a mentor supporting teenagers within the care system, many of whom were navigating complex life experiences, instability, and emotional challenges. My role focused on building trusting relationships, offering consistent encouragement, and helping them develop positive coping strategies, resilience, and self-belief. I supported them in exploring their identity, setting achievable goals, and finding safe spaces to express themselves, while also working alongside carers, social workers, and professionals to ensure they felt heard and supported.

 

I then transitioned into working within secondary schools, where I continue to support teenagers with emotional and behavioral needs. In this role I provide one-to-one mentoring, group support, and targeted interventions to help students manage difficult feelings, build confidence, improve behavior, and engage more positively in school life. I work closely with parents, teachers, and well being teams to ensure young people have the emotional support, structure, and guidance they need to thrive both in and outside of the classroom.
