Meet our Student Counsellor – Maresa Donaldson

Name: Maresa

Random fact

A random fact about me is that I’ve lived and worked in quite a few different countries over the years, including France, Spain, the Netherlands, Australia, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand. I’ve always loved travelling and experiencing different cultures, and it has shaped a lot of how I see the world.

Something I do to support my own wellbeing:

To support my own wellbeing, I practise yoga and mindfulness regularly. I also love going for long walks, especially somewhere quiet in nature, as it helps me slow down, clear my head, and reconnect with myself.

What made me get involved as a counsellor at Dundee Carers Centre:

I wanted to get involved with Dundee Carers Centre because I really value the work carers do and how much they often give of themselves to support others. I felt it was important to be part of a space where carers can take some time for themselves, feel listened to, and have support focused on their own wellbeing for a change.
