Background
Nykki had been struggling to find employment and it started to affect her mental health, knocking both her confidence and motivation.
Story
Initially, we referred Nykki for counselling and support from an energy doctor. While she worked with them, we explored various job roles that appealed to her, but none seemed to be the right fit. Eventually, she chose to put her digital marketing qualification to use by launching her own business – offering online promotional services to local organisations. We developed a comprehensive business plan and considered seeking additional support from Yorkshire In Business, but she felt confident with the plan she had created with us.
Outcomes
Since joining the programme, Nykki has completed her counselling sessions and arranged a payment plan agreement for her water debt. Most importantly she feels she is in a better place now. She has also started to turn her vision into reality by creating a company name, designing marketing materials, promoting her business across local community platforms, as well as setting up her Facebook page ready for launch.
