Meet the team

I founded Re:Minds in 2015 as I found it hard to find local support for parents in my position, I never imagined it would evolve into what it is today.  Before this, I was a primary school teacher and a SENCo with a background in pastoral care and counselling. 

​

I have three children, two with neurodiverse and mental health needs. My interests include walking my dog in the forest to escape the chaos of home, nature, Netflix & reading.

I’m excited to be working for Re:Minds, supporting parents and carers during the courses I run and as part of the Autism in Schools project. I have 2 children, one of whom is autistic.

Before joining Re:Minds I was a primary school teacher and Senco.

I really enjoy reading, watching films and helping my children with their Lego models.

I joined Re:Minds in 2022 whilst studying marketing in university, and my role has grown a lot since then.  I have two siblings who are neurodiverse and I hope to give a different perspective on some of the issues families face.  My role is create marketing materials, design powerpoints and handbooks for our courses and workshops, and run courses for parents and carers. I enjoy the creative side of my role and finding new ways to make information engaging, accessible and useful.

I joined Re:Minds on the very first session and made friends for life. Previously, I worked for a local disabled children’s charity, raising funds through bid writing.

​

I have 3 children and the youngest is Autistic and has ADHD. My personal hobbies include crochet, practising mindfulness and working on my bullet journal.

​

I have worked in primary and secondary schools for over 15 years. I have lived experiences with neurodiverse twins who also have mental health challenges. Through using support at school and at home we have overcome many challenges and improved our wellbeing as a family. This left me wanting to help and support others. I joined Re:Minds at the start of 2024 and have developed an extensive support network through partner organisations for our parents and carers with 16-25 year olds and their transition into adulthood. 

I have lived in Southampton all my life and have a background in education, mainly in Early Years. I also work as a holistic therapist promoting relaxation and selfcare as a way to help with feelings of wellbeing and stress.

I first discovered Re:Minds when my daughter needed support and I have been trying to find ways to support parents of children with ADHD and Autism ever since. So I am delighted to have joined the team.

​

Lucy is another member of the team and has been with Re:Minds from the very early days.  Lucy oversees all courses and manages the staff running the courses.

She has one child who has autism and ADHD. Her interests include puzzles and visiting theme parks, she also loves Disney.

I joined Re:minds after working in health care. I have two children one has ADHD and the other Autism.

I am passionate about working here and being able to support parents in this journey.  

I run courses and do some 1:1 support for Re:Minds currently.  If I get the time you will find me in the kitchen cooking and baking.
