Rachael, Swindon Project Lead

Rachel runs our Swindon courses and Swindon drop-ins. She is Mummy to Lily (4) and Archer (1). Rachael has lived experiences of psychosis and depression, which she says threatened to cripple her. But, when she reached out to Shine, everything changed. “Shine has been invaluable. Not just for the therapeutic opportunities and time with other adults without the children, but also the friends I have made, and the advice and support they are able to give.”


Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.
