Heya, I’m Faye. I’m one of the two counsellors at The Hub. I spend a lot of time working with LGBTQ+ young people, young mums and generally young people who have had a tough time. My counselling space is full of arts and crafts stuff and things young people have made me. I love hot chocolate and warm jumpers. I enjoy learning about other people and what they think about things. I would describe myself as friendly and easy to talk to.
