Meet Jodi!
I started my career in administration which I enjoyed but which didn’t scratch the itch I had to work with people. I always loved hearing people’s stories and knew I wanted to work therapeutically with them and eventually I found a way to train as a counsellor. I initially volunteered with Healing for the Heart and then moved into a paid role – a real dream fulfilled moment.

Step Up to Net Zero – why?
It might not seem that there’s an instant link between wellbeing and net zero but our environment has a huge part to play in our general wellbeing. Recent studies show that, particularly for younger people, anxiety about climate change and the depletion of the world’s resources negatively impacts their mental health and wellbeing.
In this series of blogs, our Net Zero coordinator, Frances, shares some of her thoughts about how we can all become a little more environmentally friendly.
