“Having my own mental health struggles a decade ago opened my eyes to the world of talking therapies and indeed how so many of us are struggling in day to day circumstances. Dating and relationships have never been harder to navigate – so much choice, and yet, it seems, never enough. I love to help people understand who they are, what they want and what they ultimately need in a relationship. “A good coach or therapist should always be non-judgemental, ethical, moral, confidential and trustworthy. A coach that’s faking any of that is not worth investing your time, money and heart in. My career has taught me that to be confident, you must first show vulnerability. Confidence comes from within – don’t measure yourself against anyone else, instead, focus on what’s great about you.”

    The Summer Camp Counsellor

    Joshua Baker has worked at Camp America every summer for the past five years, helping take care of kids as young as 12. “As a young kid I was relatively outgoing, but when I got to secondary school I got a lot quieter. I was separated from all my primary school friends, I felt lost and got bullied a little bit. I also got extreme anxiety when it came to performing – the idea of public speaking was terrifying, and made me feel nauseous. “My family has a history of public service, so after school I found myself heading towards joining the police, even though I wasn’t sold on the idea. I began studying criminology and volunteered as a Special Constable, but during every scenario I’d get extreme anxiety and my confidence would suffer. The first time I had to arrest someone, halfway through I forgot what you have to say. Clearly, the woman had been arrested before, because she actually finished my lines for me. “After university I didn’t know what I wanted to do, only that I didn’t want to join the police. I went back to my old job at a go-kart track, and a friend there suggested Camp America. I’d always wanted to travel, so I went to a recruitment fair where they fly in about 200 different camp directors and hire people on the spot. I basically just spoke my experience with go-karts, and though they did hire me on the spot, I later found out that it was because they were just incredibly desperate for a go-kart counsellor; it was towards the end of the day.
