In this episode we present Bianka Whynn, who is a BACP registered Psychotherapist and Counsellor. She speaks candidly about what brought her to complete her postgraduate diploma in psychotherapy and counselling and her journey from BSc Psychology at City, University of London to various roles in education, housing and mental health. Bianka also has an inherited blood disorder, Sickle Cell,  but a less known form called Sickle Beta Zero Thalassemia. She talks about how she has lived with this condition and how she has learned to accommodate it into her work choices.
