Being just 18,  Fay Mitchell already feels she has lived many lives. Since her 2012 diagnosis, Fay has been advocating for Autism and anxiety tolerance. From starting youth clubs at school, creating resources such as blogs and being part of the behind the scenes social media team for Thrive. 

It's safe to say she knows a thing or two about ending stigma. Growing in both confidence

 and resilience along the way, Fay successfully secured a place within a top performing arts school. After attending for a year, she decided to switch monologues for scrubs and gloves, pursuing a new dream to become a qualified mental health nurse. 

Fay has now worked within the hospital as a proud Nurse Cadet for the NHS. Received interviews from top university's, where she aims to kick start her nursing degree. When she isn't supporting at the hospital, Fay can be found walking her big red labrador Cooper or enjoying an episode of DCI Banks.
