For over 10 years I have worked in education in many different roles, from support staff, teaching, and counselling.  My whole family work in education as teachers, members of SLT or Heads of schools too!  This has given me a unique understanding of the education system and the wellbeing needs of employees, head teachers and the students who are in it. 

 

I'm passionate about providing effective, good quality mental health support in education and that's why ​I have developed various workshops to help support the mental wellbeing of staff, students and parents.

 

I run workshops and PHSE lessons on a range of subjects including:
