Background

Compassion and understanding

Earlier in my life I was very much into sport. I became a school teacher, then worked at the BBC Open University – Social Sciences, particularly on the psychology side. Following this I have been a Human Resources Manager within manufacturing and the fire and rescue service. As a result, I have a diversified background of life skills. In 2014, expecting to retire, I became victim of the 1950’s women pension injustice situation. I had first hand experience of this, but more importantly was acutely aware of the repercussions to 1950’s women and their families throughout the UK. As a result of the fallout that was occurring, I retrained and hence have been assisting all age groups, all sexes, all cultures, physical and visually impaired clients where I can. Covid has exacerbated mental health problems, particularly for those fighting to understand new technologies; being on their own; fear of the future and coping with bereavement and loss. There are a whole gambit of issues that require compassion and understanding. As well as counselling work I have also been a Management Trainer and have written and facilitated for a wide range of topics for example: Effective Communication. Managing People. Team Building. Counselling skills. Personal Development. Customer Care. Redundancy and won an Esso/Industrial Society Women in Management award.
