Shifting from marketing to counselling. Welcome to this journey🕊️💫

About

Once a young girl making moves in the digital space to now holding space for others as they navigate life’s challenges. ✨ My journey has shifted, with my new path in the counselling and mental health industry. Reflected in my LinkedIn presence, mental health and wellbeing is and has always been a very meaningful topic for me, with demonstrations of my own struggle on this very platform. It’s a rather interesting and unusual change of direction but that’s ok. I absolutely loved spending my late teen years working in digital marketing, meeting incredible people and continuously learning. For now, here’s to helping others unpack their stories. ♥️
