Passionate healthcare professional with expertise in counselling and nutrition.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated individual with extensive experience in the charity and healthcare sectors, particularly in supporting vulnerable populations. My background in nursing and management has equipped me with strong communication and organizational skills, enabling me to lead diverse teams effectively. During my time supervising the Childline counselling room, I successfully enhanced team morale and engagement, resulting in lower attrition rates and improved service delivery.
As a Nutritional Therapist, I focus on helping individuals achieve their health goals through personalized coaching and support. My ability to manage multiple tasks in demanding environments has been honed through my various roles, including my recent position as a sessional supervisor at Childline NSPCC. I thrive in dynamic settings and am committed to fostering teamwork and efficiency while ensuring the emotional well-being of those I serve.
