Mia Webb

Education Specialist

Summary

I am a driven, empathetic, and insightful individual with a strong commitment to improving the well-being of young people. Over the past four years, I have worked in education across a range of roles focused on inclusion, wellbeing, and additional support needs. I am currently enrolled in a part-time postgraduate degree in Child and Adolescent Psychology and Neuroscience at UCL, and I am eager to apply my knowledge and grow professionally in a relevant role alongside my studies. I hold a First-Class degree in Applied Psychosocial & Psychotherapy Studies from Goldsmiths, University of London, as well as a Certificate in Therapeutic Skills Studies from the Metanoia Institute. I place value on a trauma-informed practice and a whole-school approach when supporting the wellbeing of children and young people. I bring a nuanced and well-rounded understanding of neurodevelopmental conditions, grounded in both hands-on experience and academic learning.
