I am honestly so overwhelmed and grateful to share that I have been shortlisted for the 🏆 Community Impact Award at the Hartlepool Heroes 2026 Awards.
Thank you so much to everyone who has nominated, voted, supported and believed in me and the work we do through Reflection Room Therapy Service 🥹❤️.
This recognition feels incredibly special because it is not just about me, it reflects the collective impact being made within our community alongside the amazing counselling students completing placements with us. Together, we have now provided over 1,000 hours of free therapy support to children, young people, adults and families across Hartlepool and the North East 💪🏼.
I also want to say a huge thank you to HartlePower, High Tunstall College of Science, D**e House Sports & Technology College and IncludEd Education Solutions for believing in this vision and allowing counselling students to provide free therapeutic support within schools. Your support has helped create safe spaces for children and young people to be heard, understood and supported at times when they have needed it most.
Watching students grow in confidence whilst simultaneously increasing access to mental health support within our community is something I feel deeply passionate about. Every hour of support provided represents somebody feeling less alone, more understood, and given the opportunity to heal 🙏🏼.
Supporting schools, families, children and professionals through trauma and attachment informed work is something incredibly close to my heart, and I feel privileged every single day to do this work 📚 👩🏼🎓👩🏼🏫.
A huge thank you to The PFC Trust, Hartlepool Carers and Hartlepool Borough Council for this recognition, and congratulations to everyone else shortlisted. Hartlepool truly has some amazing people making a difference every day 💛
Thank you again for all of your support and encouragement. It genuinely means the world to me 💕.
