Hi, I’m Kayleigh and I have been a part of the Working Towards Wellbeing team since February 2019.

Before joining the team I was a Speech and Language therapy assistant within main stream schools. I have always loved helping people. It makes me happy to know that every day I go to work I have the opportunity to help someone identify and see the best parts of themselves. I learn so much from the individuals I work with and am challenged to learn and grow on a daily basis.

From a young age I was lucky to have many holidays on the Isle of Wight with my parents. I made the decision to move here and arrived in January 2021 to start a new chapter in my life. I am enjoying exploring the beaches around the island and collecting shells to draw and paint. My hobbies include growing herbs to make herbal teas, cooking/baking with experimental ingredients and yoga.
