Be Cortade

Be is a qualified Psychotherapist/Counsellor and has been working mostly with young people aged 14 to 25 for over two years. She is also working as a volunteer with a charity and has her own practice - Blue Cloud Walking. Be believes that we each are the expert of our own lives and that we all have within ourselves the capacity to overcome our struggles and become a better version of ourselves. Her expertise lies in helping people find their own resources. From her own experience, she has developed a model where she combines therapy with walking outside - preferably in nature or parks, drawing on the benefits of walking and nature to enrich and sometimes accelerates the therapeutic experience.

Be now works as our Wellbeing Specialist, regularly providing workshops for our young people on various aspects of mental health and wellbeing, as well as one-on-one therapy sessions for crisis relief.

Outside of her passion for her job, Be is also a keen linguist and enjoys long-distance walks in the UK and abroad. She also works as a volunteer barista in a local charity.
