GET TO KNOW ME

I have worked in education since 1985. Initially as a secondary teacher in the Key Learning Area of Technical and Applied Studies. As an educator, I have always held a keen interest in psychology, student wellbeing and counselling. My transition into careers counselling began with post graduate studies in 2009, leading to part time work in 2010 followed by full time work in this field.  I have worked in the schools sector, as a practitioner in a consultancy and in private practice. 

How Do I Work?

Working in careers and career education has allowed me to bring together interests in career counselling, teaching and learning, and pastoral care. I feel my professional and friendly counselling style assists young people to feel valued, comfortable and engaged in their quest for greater self knowledge and future possibilities.
