Wellbeing 

Welcome to Taylor Brown!

Dear Families,

Hello! My name is Taylor Brown and I am starting a Counselling placement at Clovelly Park Primary School.  I will be on placement at the school from Term 1 Week 11 until the end of Term 2. I am currently studying for a Master of Counselling and this placement is the last requirement of my degree to graduate.

For as long as I can remember I always wanted a career where I would be helping people, especially helping children. As I got to high school and took psychology as an elective it was clear that mental health work and counselling is what I wanted to pursue.

I have some experience with children as a volunteer youth mentor with an organisation called Raise. The program focuses on helping students with issues such as confidence and self-esteem, resilience and asking for help. This volunteering experience has given me some experience with current issues students face and some skills and activities to help address those issues.

In my personal life I love spending time with my friends and family, baking and reading a good book. While I love spending time with loved ones.  I think having time to myself and doing things I enjoy alone helps me to de-stress and allows time for self-improvement.

I am looking forward to joining the community!

Sincerely,

Taylor Brown
