I work on the Spot the Signs and Emotional Wellbeing project and deliver a range of training and workshop sessions to youth professionals, children and young people, as well as parents/carers and families. I have been working in this role at Hertfordshire Mind Network since July 2019.

I am also a qualified Life Coach and NLP Practitioner and work part-time as a Schools Programme Officer for Kidscape. I thoroughly enjoy the work I do and am incredibly passionate about educating and supporting children and young people, as well as those adults around them.

Natalie Gavaghan

Project Development Officer

I’m Natalie, the Project Development Officer for our Children and Young People Services. I have joined after a 16-year career as a Primary School Teacher and a break to have my daughter.

I have experience in supporting children’s mental health in schools particularly in my role as SENDco where I delivered nurture support groups, play therapy sessions and 1:1 support as well as often being the link between schools and professionals when supporting a young person’s wellbeing.

I am extremely passionate about young people’s mental health and am excited to be working on projects which directly improve children and young people’s mental wellness.

For me mindfulness involves music and the great outdoors!
