Hi!
I'm a confident and enthusiastic 37 year old male with a purpose-driven desire to support and help improve the lives of disadvantaged young people.
I originally trained to be a Chartered Accountant and had a successful career in Finance, but didn't feel I was fulfilling my life purpose so retrained in therapeutic care and spent a couple of years as a foster carer for young people with additional/complex needs.
This encouraged me on to help more people at times of uncertainty, emotional struggle or hardship and while I no longer foster due to other commitments, I have a full enhanced DBS and have provided youth mentoring and inclusion work in special education settings within Bristol within the past year.
My desire to be the best help I can be to disadvantaged young people has spurred me on to train to become a therapist and I currently hold a Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills and am completing Level 3 before I progress on to complete a Masters in Counselling & Psychotherapy.
I guess my key strengths which help me in the things I pursue are high levels of empathy, resiliance, integrity and the courage to 'do the right thing.' I believe I'm a relateable role-model to the young people that I've worked with to date :)
