I spent a great deal of my working life as a primary school teacher - a job which I had a huge amount of love and passion for. Life presented a number of challenges, as it does, and this resulted in me changing career paths and I trained as a counsellor over a four year period. I now work with all age ranges but this time as a counsellor. 

In my work life so far I have worked alongside lots of different people, from all backgrounds and ages and brains wired differently. 

I am passionate about how wonderful life can be and know full well that sometimes the things that life throws at us - be it specific events or long time internal struggles, can be pretty tough to deal with. For some, our friends and family support us and that works well but there are times and situations when this is not possible and this is where I can be there for you.
