TEACHING, TRAINING & CONSULTANCY.

Training is as much a passion as is the therapeutic side of my work.

Originally trained as a Primary School teacher I have continued to use this gifting in a variety of guises. I love to see people learn something new and to gain a new perspective on life. Their “eureka” moment if you will.

This so easily translates into therapeutic. Not that therapy is about telling you what to do but it is about walking alongside you and adding into your experience or helping reflect back so that you can take an observer’s view of your own ideas and situations.

With my teaching training as a backdrop, I have been involved with many situations of leadership, including teaching, that draws on those skills. My interest in Psycho-sexual issues and Trauma are supported by the high level of therapeutic training & qualifications I have gained as a UKCP/COSRT/BACP psychotherapist. So, here are a few of many examples. I do hope it helps you decide what you (& your organisation) need. Enjoy!
