My name is Chrissy, I’m a trainee counsellor volunteering at Boadi Therapy and I have just finished my level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling, awaiting qualification. I have a level 2 qualification in both child and adult safeguarding and also a level 2 qualification in understanding autism. I beginning to gain experience working with issues such as addiction, domestic violence, sexual issues and bereavement.

I have a strong passion for using my own life experiences to empathise with others and enable them to work through their difficult experiences by helping them to feel heard and understood. I believe everybody deserves a safe space to talk about their feelings and I aim to provide this for anyone who needs it. I’d love to use my passion for helping people to help those facing multiple disadvantages, those limited by society, and those who struggle to have their voice heard.
