About me

​I started my career in event management within the field of corporate travel and hospitality. Following the birth of my children I found myself working in education and discovered a love for working with children who struggled in the education system and required some help finding their voice. I have now worked in a range of education establishments for over eighteen years predominantly with children with SEN, learning difficulties or severe and complex medical needs.

To understand these children more, I embarked on a BSc (Hons) Psychology degree with the Open University, whilst working and juggling family life. This also included modules and areas of counselling and psychotherapy, behaviour change, child psychology and understanding autism. I then decided to continue my training in scientific evidenced based therapies which have proven positive outcomes. I have discovered this is my newest passion.

I have a wealth of personal life experiences giving me an understanding of many situations you may find yourself in.
