Project Manager (Nature-Based)
As an Occupational Therapist, Julie has worked within care provision for the past 16 years. Passionate about ensuring that older people have the opportunity to engage in meaningful activities, she has been involved with the design and delivery of training programmes to help care home staff support residents to live enjoyable and fulfilling lives.
Julie’s particular areas of interest include supporting those living with dementia and their carers to continue leading active and rewarding lifestyles.
She also enjoys exploring creative ways of connecting people with nature to access the health benefits that the outdoors can provide.
In recognising the importance of supporting the mental health of individuals, Julie is a Mental Health First Aider and is also a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist.
Outside of work, Julie enjoys any activity that involves being outdoors, including gardening, walking and sailing, whatever the weather! Julie is also a great fan of the Arts and Crafts Movement and can often be found spending time designing and working on a new upcycling project.
