After many years in finance, the Covid lockdown painfully showed how challenging life was becoming for most young people, missing a LOT of important life stages - like starting secondary school, first nights' out, parties, missing VIth Form and graduation; learning to not get close to friends and that indoors is the safe space. Seeing all this first hand in varying degrees in families all around me, we launched Talksfrteens as an information tool for young people discussing mental health issues, while simultaneously studying psychodynamic counselling, coaching and doing a MSc in Psychology between 2022-2025. We recently founded MINDSTEP, a solutions-based Therapy and Coaching practice for young people working on Identity, Purpose, Motivation and Confidence to successfully navigate life's transitions. Mindstep uses a solution based brief therapy model and is interactive and immersive.
TalksfrTeens is an information platform for teens and their parents, focusing on a wide range of topics regarding mental health, wellbeing as well as study - and life-skills.
