Gill Waring - Founder & Chief Executive Officer

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 of whom receive support from CAMHS for autism, ADHD, anxiety...and many other things!  My interests include walking my dog in the New Forest to escape the chaos of home, nature, Netflix & reading.

Angi Carey - Deputy Chief Executive Officer

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.

Amy Billows - Crisis Care Lead

I've been taking a break from work for the past couple of years as I have been a full time carer for my daughter who has severe mental health issues, complex PTSD, Autism and ADHD (amongst other things!) so I have a lot of personal experience of Crisis Care. I also have a son who has Autism and ADHD.

I love all things sparkly, catching up on the latest reality TV series and painting my nails as I find it therapeutic and relaxing!

Kerstin Bruening - 16-24 Parent/ Carer Transition Lead

I have worked in primary and secondary schools for over 15 years. Through my own lived experiences with twins that are neurodiverse and have mental health challenges, and an older daughter who has become a Young Carer due to her siblings needs, I have found myself at crisis points in the past. Through using support at school and at home we have overcome many of these challenges and improved our wellbeing. This left me wanting to help other families. I have joined Re:Minds at the start of 2024 and am developing an extensive support network for our parents and carers with 16-24 year olds and their transition into adulthood.

I am joining Re:Minds fresh from being at home with my children for their early years. One of those children has opened my eyes to neurodiversity and I am passionate about educating and supporting others on that same journey. Outside of work and my kids, you can usually find me gaming, reading and wrangling my two overly-adored cats whilst ignoring the laundry.

Emma Reed - Course Practitioner

I'm joining 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. If I get the time you will find me in the kitchen cooking and baking.
