Response Team

I started Volunteering for Hope Against Suicide after helping others to navigate the mental health care system in the UK. In a time when mental health services are stretched thin, it can be easy to lose hope and feel somewhat helpless. However, I realised that my experiences could be valuable in helping others navigate similar challenges. By offering a listening ear and connecting with individuals, I feel able to provide support and understanding and hopefully contribute to people’s journey towards hope and healing.

Outside of volunteering, I am a professional photographer, working for both national and international media outlets. My love for the environment draws me to engage in activities like tree planting and walking in nature with my family. Whether I’m behind the lens or planting for the future, I find joy in making a positive impact.
