Mental Health issues? I have been there. Neurodiversity? Probably. Loving what that's led to? Absolutely!!
I have had a diverse career, I have lived in many places and met many amazing people. I have found myself in tricky situations, I have got a bit lost and I have found solutions, not always on my own. Now a bit older I have settled in a market town with my husband and kids. I was a military wife for 15 years and have seen the most incredible perseverance in people in the quietest of people. Ultimately it has let me to what I do now.
I love working in groups where I can make a difference training people to help others. The more people we can reach the better. It makes sense to me and every course is a real privilege meeting individuals that are bold enough to do the course. It can be intense but we also have fun. I don't run too many courses so I that I can remain enthusiastic, and I don't overfill them so that we have time for everyone.
As you can see I love an adventure and that's exactly how I feel about delivering courses. I make sure you understand everything, that you are supported and feel comfortable. I avoid making it about my own experiences. That's not why we are doing the course. It's not therapy. It's about what brought you to the course and how we can make sure you leave feeling much more comfortable reaching out. It's an adventure the group shares with long lasting consequences that shows up at work, socially and in our homes.
