Our team

Stefan oversees the daily operations of Healing for the Heart to ensure our organisation runs smoothly and efficiently, allowing our team of professionals, volunteers and partners to focus on providing essential mental health services to those who need it. Outside of work, Stefan enjoys all things coffee, guitars and motorsports.

Jodi is our Clinical Director and is responsible for the management and development of our counselling service. She is a qualified counsellor and supervisor but also brings a wealth of experience in project management. Outside of work, Jodi loves to sing and is part of a community choir. 

Donna is our Community Development Coordinator and is responsible for Made4More which is our supported volunteering programme. Working mostly in the local community, Donna supports our volunteers through group work and placements into further education and work. Away from work, Donna loves to be with her family enjoying resting and relaxing in beautiful places.

Viki is a project lead in our Community Development team. She heads up ‘Creative Writing’ and ‘Express Yourself’ groups and delivers training in the Community Resiliency Model. She is happiest out and about meeting and listening to people in our communities. A rich and diverse lived experience brought her to H4H as a client in 2020 and she’s never left! She loves her front row seat to see people transform their lives!

Ella is a project worker in our community development team, facilitating mental health and wellbeing workshops for refugee and asylum communities in Glasgow. She is passionate about creating safe spaces for New Scots to build community resilience and support. Ella also co-ordinates our volunteer program, developing and supporting our team of volunteers. Outside of work, Ella loves running, reading and time with her family.

Emma is a Project worker in our Community Development team. She works with school-aged children to raise awareness around mental health, enhance emotional literacy and support wellbeing. Through collaboration with schools, she aims to create a safe, nurturing and compassionate space for pupils to explore the topic of mental health and wellbeing. She is passionate about fostering a culture in which children do not feel like they must suffer alone or in silence.  

John is the clinical development worker for Kairos Counselling & Psychotherapy (KCP), our
fixed-fee, fast-track counselling service. Prior to training as a counsellor, he worked for many
years in marketing for arts organisations, and now applies that background to developing KCP
as a newer strand of our counselling work, intended to broaden our reach and support the
charity’s sustainable growth. John loves to read and has recently taken up woodcarving.

Rosie joined Healing for the Heart in 2021 and alongside her role as a counsellor is now also a Clinical Development Worker, helping to grow our work with children and young people. She previously developed and delivered a satellite counselling model with local youth organisations, making counselling more accessible for young people in their own communities. With a background in youth work, Rosie has also supported young people’s mental health in schools and as a Childline Counsellor. Outside of work, she enjoys reading books with good twists, playing cosy video games and cuddling her dogs.
