Alan Jiang
I’m Alan, and I’ve been a regular attendee at the Young Adult Friends meeting since 2018. I came to Oxford for my undergraduate degree, and ended up making the city my home. Like quite a few of the Quakers I’ve met, I have embarked on a journey as a therapist, and it’s with that hat on that I’m putting out the following call:
I volunteer for a charity in Bicester, Nai’s House, which gives mental health support to young people (up to age 25, roughly). We’re looking for a qualified counsellor to volunteer 4-6 hours a week, supporting the other volunteer counsellors and doing assessments for potential clients. It’s a small and relatively new charity, so the position can only be voluntary. However, it is a fantastic charity that does really crucial work, in an area that generally suffers from a lack of available services. It is not just counselling on offer, as the charity also provides crisis support for people with suicidal urges, along with other holistic treatments like massages and art therapy. We work closely with schools and get a large number of referrals from CAMHS.
Please could you send this out to anyone you know, who might be able to help out? They could either reply to me or contact the founder, Gem, directly (gem@naishouse.org.uk).
