Hi! I’m a psychology student with a passion for helping people and a goal of becoming a counsellor one day. I’ve always been drawn to mental health because I know how important it is and how much of a difference the right support can make. I’m excited to be on a path where I can one day be that support for others. My role at The Therapeutic Way is to support our clients, take care of admin tasks, and help manage our social media. When I’m not studying or working, you can usually find me out for a run or relaxing by crocheting—they help me manage stress and keep a healthy routine.
