Mental Health Practitioner

Apollonya Cheesmar

Hi, I’m Apollonya and I am a Mental Health Practitioner for Anxend.

I have just graduated from Oxford Brookes University with a degree in Psychology. I have always held an interest in psychology and found learning about all of the different aspects incredibly interesting. As I am still young and have worked with children in several roles, I feel that I can relate to the children we support and the struggles they may be facing.

I have experience with anxiety as a member of my family suffered from it. I saw the struggles they went through and how it affected, not just them but those around them too. Watching someone finally be able to manage their anxiety and achieve things that they previously had not thought possible inspired me to help others.

I wish to support others to overcome the restraints anxiety has on them and their family. Anxend helps so many children and families conquer these difficulties to reach their full potential. I believe the unique holistic method used by Anxend is the approach most likely to succeed and maintain results, which is reflected in the changes we see in individuals.

I spend my free time seeing my friends or watching Formula 1 and rugby. I enjoy reading, listening to music and watching my favourite TV shows on Netflix!
