Michaela Kendall
Associate Counsellor
Hello, My name is Michaela and I am one of the therapists at Time to Listen. Here are some fun facts about me… I love to read and my favourite books of all time are the Harry Potter series. My favourite exercise is yoga and climbing, (I used to work in a summer camp in America climbing trees and zip lining down - so fun!). At Time to Listen I love to get crafty in our art room or play fun games in our play room and I get lots of opportunity to play (yay). I talk a lot about big feelings with the children I work with and one of my favourite ways to understand those tricky feelings is through role playing each feeling (a bit like Inside Out), because I know we can all struggle with big feelings sometimes (even adults). I always enjoy meeting new faces and starting new therapy journeys.
Lynette Booth-Malone
Associate Counsellor
Hi, I'm Lynette, I have 2 pet fish one called Rumpelstiltskin and one called Puppy.
I play a bit of guitar and enjoy arts and crafts including face painting :)
I like taking photos of scenery which means I must walk up hills to get nice pictures. I once came in at number 5 at Fortnight....by hiding 😆 🤣
Mary Moverley
Associate Counsellor
My name is Mary and I'm a therapist here at Time to Listen.
I love animals and can’t get enough of doggy snuggles. My dog is called Brodie and his hair is as curly as mine!
Sometimes I’m a daredevil and like doing scary things – I’ve been bungee jumping and aquasphering (in case you haven’t heard of this, it’s rolling down a mountain in a big ball with water inside!). One of my favourite places is Dalby Forest and I’ve been round Go Ape several times, and have also been known to try the segways and managed not to fall off…..just!
Other times, I prefer being quiet and love reading, going on long walks in the country with my dog, playing board games (if I can convince someone to play with me!), and pottering in my garden, especially if it’s sunny.
Andy McDonald
Associate Counsellor
Hi I'm Andy, I am an easy-going fun counsellor here at time to listen. I have a dog called Bailey, and together we get up to mischief on long countryside walks and along the beach.
I have a child of my own, and love to go to the park and try to fit on the swings and slides, and he laughs when I fall off.
I look forward to meeting you and hearing about you. Let's get a board game out, or some building blocks, or kick a soft ball around!

Helen Catterall
Associate Counsellor
When I'm not at Time to Listen, you'll probably find me out running in the countryside. This is when I have all my best ideas. There's nothing like being out in the fresh air and having the chance to spot some wildlife. I've seen everything from rabbits to deer! Sometimes a robin pops up on the path in front of me. I love running to the beat of my favourite music, whether it's rock, pop or anything in between. Sometimes, my Labrador, Willow, comes with me. She's much faster than I am, though!
I also enjoy relaxing by the sea. I love searching for fossils, paddling in the water or going for a long walk along the shore. In the evenings, I unwind with a good book before bed and I like playing the piano when I have the chance. My absolute favourite treat is a flapjack with a nice cup of tea! I can’t wait to meet you and find out all about you, too.
Jessie Netherton

I love all things Harry Potter, my favourite animal’s are dogs and donkeys (I have a lovely little dog at home called Woody but sadly no donkeys).
My favourite thing to eat is Nutella - I like it on pancakes, toast and croissants but my favourite way to eat it is straight from the jar

My name is Jacqui, and I grew up with 3 brothers, a sister and lots of pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes, cats and dogs. I now have 2 grown up children, I love looking after my daughter’s dog, Ava, taking her for walks and having lots of doggy snuggles.
I volunteer in a primary school helping children who find it hard to work through their feelings, sometimes it can be hard to say exactly how you feel so I have lots of different ways to help such as art and craft activities, construction toys and sensory resources.
James Palmer
Trainee Therapist
Hello, my name is James and here are some facts about me……………………….
I have a rescue dog called Barbara AKA ‘Babs’ I am an absolute dog lover and love nothing more than curling up on the sofa with Babs while watching Harry Potter.
I love to bake and decorate cakes, I find this really relaxing but I also love to make a mess! I am also a lover of all things sweet!
I love a game of uno and dobble (although its rare that I manage to win!)
I’m petrified of rides, so I avoid these when I am at Hull fair, instead I get the important job of holding the bags and coats.
I love to be outside, I love nothing more than going on nice long walks. I enjoy gardening and have recently managed to grow some of my own vegetables, although the slugs enjoyed the majority of them!
When I’m alone I enjoy dancing round my kitchen to my favourite songs.
