About Us 

I grew up in care between the ages of 2-18 and was subjected to a lot of trauma as well as systemic failure. I spent my time in and out of mental health services such as CAMHS as well as private funded therapy but found nothing could ever meet my needs or work for me and always found the structure of therapy to be to structured. So I understand on a personal and professional level the frustrations faced when trying to access support for your children and the barriers parents can be faced with.

Once I left the care system I was subjected to injustice within the family court.This mentally took a toll on me and I found myself trying to access support but having no where to turn to and often found myself battling services for help and this is the reality for so many young people as they leave care or transition from children's mental health across to adult mental health.

I then decided that that I wanted to use my previous child care qualifications as well as my previous experience in working with children in care within my local authority as well as my counselling degree to establish my own business in supporting children from all walks of life to give them the best support possible and start to adult life As possible.

That is when I launched Brighter Futures counselling. It is my mission to make sure that all children from any walk of life feels supported heard and listened to as well as gaining the support and skills they need to travel through life and become the best versions of themselves. I believe in having minimal barriers to accessing therapy and here at brighter futures we strive to make sure that we can offer the best support to both families and children no matter their circumstances.
