Addie

After obtaining my degree in Biomedicine and entering medical school as a graduate, I realised my passion was more in mental health and wellbeing than anything else I was studying and dropped out to pursue a career in Counselling. I received an ADHD diagnosis shortly before doing so, and my educational journey thus far suddenly made sense.

I have since obtained a Level 3 Counselling Skills Certification, and over a year’s worth of experience as an SEMH Tutor. I have very intimate knowledge of the UK Medical School application process (I got in twice!). Through experience and empathy, I aim to guide and support you through the emotional minefield that is student life.

I am a bubbly, optimistic person that hopes to inject positive energy into every session. I have a never-ending, genuine curiosity about people and what they have to say, so please don’t think anything is ever too big or small to talk about. No matter what it is, I care and I will listen. I have a very non-judgemental and collaborative approach, so we will work through problems together!

As I am here to support you, the sessions will be largely centred and led by you, meaning we can talk about anything you want. This can range from issues requiring emotional support to academic advice and tips. Or if you don’t feel like talking, we can use the session to destress with games and activities. It is all dependent on your individual needs, likes and dislikes, but I will always have your best interest at heart. It is important to me to get to know you properly, so that I can help you as best as I can.

If this sounds like a good fit, please do get in touch. I look forward to meeting you!
