Roisin Linnett

I am a therapist and support worker, passionate about supporting individuals to find connection and meaning in their lives, even when it feels difficult. I love helping people to reconnect with themselves, others and nature. Experienced in programme and event coordination, I create safe, inclusive spaces that foster wellbeing, trust, and engagement. Skilled in safeguarding, record-keeping, and liaising with professionals, I support individuals to access services, build confidence, and integrate into the wider community.

I was born in the Monkton Wyld community, where I grew up surrounded by a culture of sharing circles and connection. These experiences taught me the importance of communication, listening, and moving forward together. Community camps have been a big part of my life, and I now contribute by running drug and alcohol workshops for teens in alternative spaces. I’m also part of the camps’ steering group, where we review feedback and work together to improve programmes for everyone involved.

I’m starting a herbalism apprenticeship with the Seed Sisters, reflecting my love of the land and my desire to deepen my connection with nature. I also have a passion for crafts, especially crochet, and music — I play the fiddle. I’m excited to bring together my love of working with people, creativity, and my relationship with the land, using the skills I’ve gained in the charity sector to support and nurture my community in meaningful ways.
