TAKE A SEAT PEOPLE - Key Persons
As one of the founders of Take a Seat, good mental health is something Chris is passionate about. After spending years in the corporate world he wanted the chance to do something that could make a real difference. Having experienced the benefits of therapy, he wished he hadn't waited so long to do it and wanted to ‘bring the joy' to everyone else. He is now on a mission to ensure therapy is not only accessible but that therapists are fully supported on their journey. When he isn't trying to ‘change the therapy world' he can be found walking his two Border Terriers, watching Liverpool FC or binging a Netflix boxset.
Freddie has over three years of recruitment experience, dedicated to supporting public sector organisations. He is a firm believer in the power of building trust-based relationships to assist these organisations in constructing their teams to achieve long-term goals. Freddie made the decision to join Take a Seat with the intention of making a positive impact on a market he believes benefits everyone across the USA, personally and professionally.
When he's not in the office, you'll often find him losing sleep over Manchester United or spending quality time with his family and friends. Freddie is also a passionate advocate for running, as he finds it to be a great stress reliever on those days when things might not be going as planned.
