Georgia Wakefield

I've recently completed my final year of Masters in Community-Based Counselling at Wits University. With an interest for working with children and a passion for food and cooking, I am seeking opportunities that unite overall well-being and skills training. I bring a well-rounded background that includes experience in childcare through au pairing, professional work in psychotherapy and psychological assessments, as well as running a part-time bakery in 2025.

I am eager to contribute my skills to environments where I can support the growth and well-being of children of all ages while expanding my own experience.
