About Me

Hi, I'm Surahn

I'm from Cornwall but I've been living in Devon for a few years. I've worked with children and young people throughout my career in different capacities and have met so many wonderful characters and personalities along the way.

Currently I work with young people within the care system and I have a degree in Child and Adolescent Mental Health and I'm studying for my Psychology degree. I'm qualified in Forest school and love the outdoors and encouraging adventure and exploration.

My ethos is all about communication, transparency and understanding. I think it's so important to be a reliable, consistent and caring adult for both the children and the parents so everybody feels safe with your care.

I like to encourage young people to question anything they don't understand so I can explain, listen or support them moving forward with a situation, no matter how big or small. My aim is to always leave a child feeling heard, I think this builds the trust and the relationship that you need to navigate the tricky times, enforcing rules or setting boundaries and enables them to feel like they can come to you with anything.

I believe that there is always a reason for an action or reaction and that you have to listen and take notice to understand how you can support that person.
