MY JOURNEY
THE EARLY YEARS:
My working life began in Retail Management until I had my 2 daughters, the transition into motherhood sparked an interest in early child development and child psychology. I gained a Bachelor of Philosophy Degree in Advanced Education and became the owner of 2 day-care nurseries, providing care and education for children aged 0-5 years.
THE CAREER JOURNEY:
From there I became an Adult Teacher and Assessor and taught a number of courses at a local college for aspiring nursery nurses including an Introduction to Psychology. I achieved a BA Hons Degree in Early Years and was a visiting lecturer at Northumbria University. I later gained a Post Graduate Diploma in Education & Professional Practice. I progressed to further study with the Institute of Leadership & Management.
I took a change in direction in 2004 and worked in Local Government for 10 years as Workforce Development Training Manager for Early Years and Childcare & Strategic Manager for the development of services for disabled children and young people. I enjoyed my time in the Public Sector but decided to take a leap of faith and started my own training and development company in 2014.
THE PRESENT
I have always had a curiosity about the mind and why we behave the way we do. This curiosity led me down the path of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and to studying Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy at the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy in London.
