About Me

Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom
I provide courses and workshops for individuals and organisations in Emotional Intelligence and Active Listening Skills. I also offer Introductory level courses in Counselling Skills and Theory, which are approved by UEA for further study at Certificate level. (I was Course Director of the Certificate programme at UEA for 11 years). I think that learning how to listen to someone in a way that communicates respect and understanding is a vital part of living in relationships (whether at work or home). The courses that I run will give you the opportunity to learn how to listen in this way. I am also involved in WriteOutLoud, which delivers workshops that use creative life writing skills to bring groups of individuals together. Everyone has an amazing story and we provide the environment where they find their voice. I have two children, am a parent governor and also a member of the Board of Directors for CME Ltd (providing opportunity through music and media).

June Counselling Theory course finishes

It's been an amazing course - only 20 hours to combine Rogers' Personality Theory, his Person Centred Approach and everyone's personal experience in a way that was safe and rich in learning. But I think we got there! Everyone worked so hard - listened so well to each other - and were prepared to get out of their comfort zone now and again. The feedback was really positive. This one struck me:

"Thank you Andrea for the course. I think it's made me feel more focussed than I have done in a long while. I feel able to talk more openly to my friends and family. I feel like I've come together as it were - a bit more in myself but also where I'm going."

Next Introduction to Theory course starts 24th November, 2009!
