Bee-Released Counselling Startup To Watch 2019
Description
My start-up is a Counselling service, with a difference. What makes me stand out is by; bringing mental health support away from a clinical setting by using the beauty of the coastal setting for tranquillity and I also integrate sensory and tactile methods with 3D printed aids to facilitate exploration of well-being. Bee-Released is both a private practice which reduces the problems with current waiting lists to see a specialist, and a social enterprise. Whereby, I can offer a service tailored for Carers and Young Carers to cope with the emotional impact of their role. The unspoken heroes of our community.
