Meet the Team

Fiona
Fiona
Hi, I am Fiona, Project Lead for the service at Tunbridge Wells Hospitals in Kent.
I regularly get involved with detached youth work in my local community. I love getting alongside young people, speaking positive things to encourage them about who they are and what their strengths are.
I have the heart to see every young person reach their potential.
Fiona has a degree in Psychology and was a practitioner in the NHS in a community team working with people with learning disabilities and mental health issues.
Ann
Ann
I am a youth support worker at Tunbridge Wells Hospital.
I have always worked with children and young people – as a one-to-one special needs teaching assistant and as a children’s nurse and health visitor. I believe in the value of giving our children and young people time and space to just be – to simply listen to what they feel and think.
I am a contemplative person, so I enjoy time in the garden and watching things grow and develop. I also like to hear people’s stories and lives, so love to meet people for coffees (mostly in garden centres to indulge my passion for plants!).
Ann has a DiPHE in Children’s Nursing with specialist qualifications in paediatric and neonatal intensive care nursing, a BSc (Hons) in Specialist Public Health Nursing (Health Visiting), and a PGCert Psychology and Neuroscience in Mental Health.

I am a youth support worker at Tunbridge Wells Hospital.
I love building relationships with people and hearing their stories.

I originally qualified as an engineer, but after a few years found myself doing health coaching. More recently I have been mentoring young people and helping them to discover their unique talents and abilities to achieve their goals.

I love being in nature, taking long walks and spending time with friends and family.

Emma
Emma
I’m a youth support worker for the Emerge team at Tunbridge Wells Hospital. I empathise deeply with young people, particularly in the unique challenges they face in their time in history, and have always been motivated by seeing someone truly flourish in to living out the value they have – as we all have, simply by being made in God’s image.

I’ve led youth groups for 14 years across two of the churches I’ve been a member at and have worked a number of day jobs in various roles, including for many years in a number of Christian charities.
