Meet our youth practitioners
We’re here to help you work through life’s challenges, sort out conflicts and rebuild relationships.
Our support covers health, safety and wellbeing, self-esteem, school and college, decisions about your future – and anything else you might be dealing with. We can also make sure you get the right help for any specific needs you might have.
We’ll go at your pace and are here for as long as you need us. And, once you’re back on track, we’ll keep in touch to make sure you continue to stay safe and supported.
Andrea, North West
Why did you decide to become a youth practitioner?
I want to make sure young people have someone to talk to and support them through problems and difficulties so they don’t feel the need to go missing from home.
What are you most scared of?
I would say I am most scared of change. Obviously things change and move on and we all have to adapt, however the prospect of change does unnerve me.
What’s your favourite biscuit?
Anything chocolatey!

Why did you decide to become a youth practitioner?
When I was a teenager, I always valued having people to talk to and knowing someone was listening. I love providing a safe space for young people to express themselves, and I love seeing young people achieve their goals and celebrate their achievements.
What’s your best trait?
I would say my best trait is my creativity. I love anything to do with dance, theatre and art and using these interests to be creative.
What’s your favourite biscuit?
White chocolate digestive.
