The Mental Health Youth Worker
Social Scientist / Co-production consultant
Working with you, for a mentally healthy tomorrow.
Our minds are complicated places, shaped entirely by our individual experiences—which is why looking after our mental health requires an approach as unique as you are. With over 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, compassionate, and innovative method to supporting young people and transforming the systems around them.
My journey includes serving as a Lead Technical Expert on youth mental health for WHO Europe during the pandemic, as well as renovating and upgrading youth participation frameworks for leading organisations like YoungMinds and Anna Freud. As an officially accredited Level 7 Youth Worker registered with the National Youth Agency, I combine collaborative, forward-thinking approaches with decades of frontline practice. Together, I can empower young people to navigate their own life adventures, build positive mental habits, and establish the vital support networks they need to tackle whatever challenges come their way.
