Who am I?

Hello! My name is Miss. Lake and I am the Place2Be Mental Health Practitioner at Featherstone Primary School.

To give you a little bit of background to myself: I have been working with children and young people for over 10 years now, in a range of different job roles and settings. I have a First-Class BA (Hons) Degree in Childhood, Family and Education Studies, and a Masters (MSc) in Counselling for Children and Young People.

I have a wide range of experience, which also includes running my own private counselling practice.   A large part of my job as a counsellor involves doing a lot of direct work with families and so I spend a lot of time supporting parents and carers who need support with coping with their child/ren’s mental health in the home environment.
