Sousila Pillay
Associate
Sousila gained a BA Hons in Sociology and Criminology, then qualified as a Counsellor where she used her skills within the Probation Service and set up a counselling service at St Davids Hospice, both located in North Wales. She was the first to be employed by Conwy County Borough Council as a Freelance Behaviour Lifestyle Consultant working on fitness and lifestyle programmes, and as a Disciplinary Behaviour Consultant working alongside individuals within the dismissal process.
Sousila then located to Cardiff where she was a Teaching Assistant for 5 years at Ty Gwyn Special School for complex needs, and has experience working with Autism and PMLD. Sousila also became the first telephone counsellor for Tenovus after spending years as a Childline Counsellor. Her Behaviour Consultancy work continued as she was asked to be lead trainer in delivering training in Effective Behaviour Change for ABUHB Public Health Wales in 2017. Her interest in Criminology continued, and Sousila embarked down the Restorative Justice path qualifying as a Practitioner at the end of 2017, and completing a Body Language Diploma in 2018.
In the past, she has been a Mental Health Advocate, has experience working with vulnerable young people and adults, as well as being a guest speaker, and for many years delivered one to one and group workshops in Well-Being, and has also participated in ITV programmes advising and offering well-being tips.
Sousila is currently waiting to hear if she has been accepted onto the Independent Monitoring Board for Cardiff Prison.
