My background

I specialise in delivering creative, therapeutic approaches that can empower young people and adults to develop literacy skills and uncover innate ability. I work in ways that identify and address learning-related anxiety - an anxiety that is frequently undetected.

I am a qualified and experienced Integrative Counsellor, which provides me with additional insights into the challenges of learning. I have developed a range of sensitive interactions and activities that can significantly raise confidence. My background as a trainer and practitioner in the multicultural East End of London cemented my commitment to equality; assumption and discrimination have no place in my approach.
