About Beth
I am currently a Stage Three Psychology with Counselling student at the University of Sunderland. I look forward to meeting the young people and getting to know them in the hope that I can help to bring out their creativity and interests and find common ground within the group.
During my time at university, I have focused my career goals on counselling for young people and their mental health. This is drawn from the experience I had during my time in school, and from supporting close family members that found their teenage years very difficult.
This interest in supporting young people led me to seek out voluntary opportunities to mentor and build confidence in teenagers. I am now continuing my professional development by eagerly beginning my placement with Building Self Belief, hoping to use the skills I have gained while learning new things and meeting new people.
Looking to the future, I would like to complete my counselling training and work with young people of a range of ages. I aim to provide considerate support by understanding the person as an individual and nurturing their passions and differences.
