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).

Walking, talking and being listened to

What luxury to walk through a patchwork of fields this morning, occasionally being startled by the pheasants that shared our space. There is something about nature that enables to me to have a greater insight. I love it - the space to move around the earth, while also moving around my head. But the best thing is, having someone to walk alongside - both physically and mentally. Just knowing that all my ruminations have been heard, is incredibly comforting. Thank you for listening to me. You know who you are!
