Chandrika Patel (she/her) is an accredited psychotherapist and taught English in inner London secondary schools for a decade. She now works with trainee teachers at a charity called Teach First and also develops mentors for another charity called Creative Mentor Network who support the creative industry in being more inclusive for young people from under resourced backgrounds.

“I am person-centred which means I’m led by the individuals in front on me rather than a theory or book. I believe true healing begins with oneself and have spent my life developing my mind, body and soul so that I can support individuals and communities to do the same.

I speak three languages, consider myself socially mobile and grew up in Preston. My background allows me to create safe spaces for a diverse group in which I’ll work hard to make you feel seen and heard.”
