  • One way to know yourself is to understand how your past experiences have shaped and defined Your story and your beliefs.

Imagine a future where people work from a foundation of self-knowledge, self-care, and compassion. Nurture With is A Well-being Initiative created by mental health professionals dedicated to transforming our approach to well-being, mental health and Neurodiversity. We make personal development and therapeutic knowledge accessible and inclusive through our reflective journaling process. 

Sinead Reed-Forrester

Sinead Reed Forester is an anthropologist, well-being and neurodiversity facilitator and practitioner, with a background in NLP coaching, counseling, and mentoring. With over a decade of experience in mental health, she has worked within the art sector, homelessness, and education. Her passion lies in facilitating growth and transformation by acknowledging and understanding trauma.

She founded Nurture With to create a framework that supports her clients and provides long-term, preventative, and scalable support for people. Her academic research explores the intersections of trauma, empathy, creativity, neurodiversity, and well-being. Sinead is particularly interested in how we create and tell our own stories and how this affects our sense of well-being and identity.

Nurture With aims to provide individuals with the knowledge and a supportive framework to build self-awareness. This empowers them to take greater autonomy over their narratives and to learn how to care for their mental and physical health in a holistic way.

Paula Samantha

Hi, Im Paula, I'm currently in training to become a psychotherapist, a journey that combines my ten years experience of working in the education sector, where I've dedicated myself to supporting individuals with their mental health and overall well-being.

 My work is centred on providing a safe space for people to be truly seen and heard. This is a core belief of mine, as I understand that many of the mental and social challenges people face stem from the profound need to be acknowledged and understood..

I'm passionate about helping people realize that mental health challenges are not a life sentence but rather a signal that something in our lives requires attention, processing, and recognition. I aim to inspire self-awareness, recognising that to conquer life’s experiences, we must first understand ourselves and the factors that shape our perspectives and decisions.

I intend to assist individuals in exploring their unique qualities and identities. I believe Nurture With represents the very essence of looking at the whole person, considering their lived experiences and how those experiences shape their day-to-day reality.
