Stefanie Farrell
Summary
I am a personable and relatable individual with experience in sales, management, and personal assistance. After having twins, I decided to pursue a career in psychology. I am currently working in the alcohol and substance misuse sector, where I support individuals and families affected by addiction. My background in psychology, combined with qualifications in counselling and mental health awareness, enables me to take a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to recovery and behavior change. I am passionate about continuing to grow and develop within the substance misuse and mental health field. I aim to build on my knowledge of psychology and further enhance my skills to make a meaningful and lasting impact in the lives of those I support.
