We’re so delighted to welcome Aimee Smith Counselling & Psychotherapy as Papaya’s Therapeutic Wellbeing Partner.

Aimee is an Integrative Psychotherapist with over eight years’ experience in mental health and is fully trained in Makaton, allowing her to support communication in a more inclusive and accessible way. She’ll be collaborating with us to help promote emotional wellbeing within our community.

As part of this partnership, Aimee will be supporting Papaya through opportunities such as staff training, mental health education and therapeutic collaboration, while also being a trusted point of contact for adults looking to access counselling and psychotherapy.

We believe that supporting children’s wellbeing also means supporting the adults around them, and we’re excited to have Aimee as part of the Papaya community.

If you’d like to learn more about Aimee or her private practice, keep an eye on our page or visit her profile.

Supporting our community through:

• Staff Training and wellbeing sessions
• Psychoeducation
• Therapeutic Collaboration

It is such an honor and a blessing to be able to give our staff this amazing knowledge and support when we open our doors to the public 💫✨
