Name: Linda Warwick

I am 51, married to Stanley & mum to 2 sons. Ben is 22 & 4th year student teacher at Stranmillis Uni. Sadly, our baby son Reuben died in 2008.  

Since I left college in 1992 I have worked in a variety of settings working with children & young people such as Day Nursery, Nursery, Primary & Post primary schools with Education Authority. In 2010 I started as a  Bereavement Volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Support & then as a staff member supporting bereaved children, young people & adults to Aug 2024. 

In 2022 I qualified as a Counsellor & in 2023 I completed my Level 5 Counselling Diploma working with Children & young people.  

I am starting a part-time new job as Macmillan Cancer Development Lead with Mindwise. I am also offering Counselling to schools, organisations & privately.  

I am passionate in coming along side another & help make a difference in their life.  

I’m motivated due to my own personal experiences & I have a passion to come alongside children & young people who are bereaved or in emotional distress.  

I love the ethos of Fresh Minds Education, the passion, care and commitment of this amazing organisation.. 

Open your heart, open your mind & be creative to learn something new.  

That every bereaved or emotional distressed child & young person are supported as they navigate life when they need the support and not be on a waiting list.  

Open your heart, open your mind & be creative to learn something new.
