About Me

My journey in the exploration of the human potential and the mind started while studying for a Psychology degree in Edinburgh ( accredited by the British Psychological Society).
During my studies, I was also involved with Feniks, Counselling, Personal Development, and Support services, which provide a range of therapeutic supports to ethnic minorities in Edinburgh. That equipped me with an empirical understanding of support, including the issues people face and the various techniques that can be used to help them.
Subsequently, I got a postgraduate diploma in Career Advice and Guidance. Straight after completing my PG Dip, I combined two educational paths and started working for Access to Industry, where I helped vulnerable groups gain their full psychological and economic independence. In December 2022, I began working for Edinburgh and Lothian Green Space Trust to broaden the range of people I work with, including all members of society, by linking them with available services that promote mindfulness, green spaces, and social prescribing.
I have obtained additional training to broaden my theoretical knowledge, providing more comprehensive support, especially for those individuals in our community who are most vulnerable. I have been delivering well-being sessions for patients of NHS Lothian and the Edinburgh Abstinence Programme in Edinburgh. I have delivered numerous courses, including Living Life to the Full, Mindfulness and Compassion-Based Living courses, and facilitated SMART meetings for individuals in recovery. I have delivered over 1,000 one-on-one support sessions of career advice and guidance, helping people lead more meaningful lives. I have facilitated numerous courses that have been perceived as life-changing for some.
My latest interests have led me to explore the importance of our beliefs and their impact on the way we think and behave as human beings. This led me to become a fully qualified teacher of mindfulness and compassion. I understand the importance of self-compassion, particularly in relation to one's emotional intelligence.
To further broaden my approach, I have started a Certificate in Counselling that allows me to receive knowledge and practice in a self-centred attitude.
I apply all my knowledge and experience working with people in group and one-to-one settings. I am now starting to establish my own independent support and services through HealthyInsideOut.
