Eugene Ishani

Senior Health & Wellbeing Practitioner & Health Coordinator at Lambeth Youth Justice Service

My name is Eugene and I am currently working as a Senior Health & Wellbeing Practitioner at the well centre. I am a Criminology & Youth Studies Graduate with over 10 years of experience in the youth sector. My experience of youth work ranges from large scale informal youth projects to working with schools and managing behaviour for challenging youths. I am adept in drama therapy and have worked with vulnerable youth all around the UK. During my years of experience I have worked with both low, medium and high-risk individuals.

My passion for helping young people stems from working as part of a youth theatre in my earlier years of studies and seeing the impact the arts can have on exploring feelings, emotions and thoughts. Many of my working methods are tailored made for specific clients. I have a very practical / visual approach to help clients engage, which in most cases allows the client to work more effectively to achieve their desired goals.

I love working as a team and creating a fun yet effective working environment for all staff to reach their full potential.

Elliot Omari

Health & Wellbeing Practitioner with special responsibility for Diabetes

My name is Elliot and I work at The Well Centre as a health and wellbeing practitioner, I’m a psychology graduate with a passion for helping young people. My job is to offer support and help to young people that are experiencing a range of issues, from psychological to emotional problems.

Using psychology and cooperative communication I aim to explore challenging topics and addresses any concern a young person may be dealing with. Through the use of holistic methods, I aim to facilitate a young person’s growth through their own decisions in improving their health and wellbeing.

I have a background in young people’s mental health and wellness, I worked as support staff in a PRU and spent some time as a HCA in a mental health facility. These experiences have had a large impact on me and how I approach mental health, it has shown me how many young people feel neglected and not taken seriously. I want to change this and demonstrate that if given appropriate
attention and adequate support a young person can achieve a great deal.
