LORNA COLE-PARTRIDGE
Founder / CEO - Good Soul Therapy
My time at UEL paved the way for the therapy career I’m proud to have today. Since qualifying in 2017, I’ve been part of the Grenfell Counselling Team, have built up a busy culturally-informed private practice, travelled the country as part of the COVID inquiry and other national inquiry therapeutic support teams. I currently run a counselling service at East London charity, Hackney Quest, as well as starting my own therapy service. This all fits alongside my other work as a TV exec. If you’re getting into this profession, don’t be afraid to think outside the box! What we learn in training is the anchor but we can develop our skills and practice to suit the environments we live in today.

When I first arrived at the university, I was anxious about fitting in, but the welcoming environment quickly eased my concerns. The professors made us feel included, and I appreciated the opportunities to grow, particularly as a Curriculum and Outreach Ambassador and a research lab assistant. Living on the Docklands campus was a highlight, offering safety, friendships, and activities that lifted our spirits. Although I felt lonely after leaving campus, returning brought happiness. My university experience was incredibly positive, leaving me with cherished memories.
