Hello, I’m Sarah Beardsley, one of the Wellbeing Advisers for the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences.
I joined Loughborough University as a temp in 2008 with the BHF National Centre for Physical Activity & Health, based in the Sir John Beckwith Centre for Sport. I moved into the Study Support Team in the Schofield Building within Student Services in 2013, and then in 2018, I joined the First Contact Team. I completed a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy with the Sherwood Institute, and jumped at the chance to work within the Student Wellbeing Team here on campus.
