I am Nicky Stevens, a counsellor and psychotherapist. I currently work as a Wellbeing (Mental Health) advisor for Gloucestershire County Council. I trained at the University of South Wales on the PGDip Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy course. Prior to this, I worked in education. I have delivered training for local authorities and as part of my role within GCC, I deliver training on resilience and wellbeing workshops. As a trained ceramicist, I use this medium for my own self-care and reflection.
