Angela set up her organisation, Elemental Health after working as a counseling services manager, psychotherapist and trainer in educational establishments.

She recognised that students and staff can feel concerned about how to talk about feeling and work with mental health issues and began to deliver training that gave people the confidence to use these skills to support themselves and others. Angela works with us to support our safeTALK workshops as a highly experience Community Resource Helper.

In the last ten years, Angela has also had a successful private therapy practice and has worked with diverse client groups at large charities including The Terrence Higgins Trust, Mind and the YMCA.
