about me
Hi! I'm Carly Morris, founder of The Body Doubler
JOURNEY TO SUCCESS
Who I am and how I got here
I live in Billericay, Essex with my husband and my 2 year old Staffie, Roni. I like to go on dog walks and love to be near water, so I’m lucky to have a park and a lake nearby. My guilty pleasure is True Crime documentaries.
For the past 9 years I have specialised in Mental Health Nursing and work within the NHS. This and my previous jobs before have all been various forms of person-centred support roles. I’ve worked with a variety of different people from all walks of life.
Struggling with concentration had always been a big issue, and I haven’t had the easiest of journeys. I eventually was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD, giving me some insight as to what I’d been battling against for most of my life unaware. Before that, I just thought I was prone to oversharing in meetings, not academic, just a classic procrastinator and masked feeling overwhelmed constantly to the world around me.
Through living with these struggles, I have learnt many different coping mechanisms and skills to allow me to stay focused, not feel so stressed and achieve my goals. I believe my own personal life and professional experiences have provided me the ability to empathise and support others. I want to show others who struggle in general that life doesn’t always have to be an uphill battle. Even the smallest tasks don’t have to be a mountain and can be achieved with without that constant worry or firefighting approach at the last minute.
Alongside side having lived experience, I have attended and completed a number of various training sessions to support my practice.
– BSc Honours Degree in Mental Health Nursing
-Completed 6 week course in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and apply elements to supporting people.
– Certified ADHD Awareness Course.
– Life Couching and Neurolinguistic Programming Course
-Dyslexia Awareness Course
