My background

Hello there, I'm from an SEN and Counselling background so have a variety of ways to offer support to you or your child:

1. English tuition for ages 4-16; particularly for those who struggle with anxiety, dyslexia, dyspraxia or ASD ---
2. English support to those who speak English as an additional language. [TEFL qualified.] ---
3. Support for those managing anxiety, motivation or low self esteem in relation to their school work - My most recent experience is as a school (mental health) counsellor, in both primary and secondary schools. ---
4. Cover letter and CV writing support, and employability skills. ---

If your child is a little older, and considering a career in the mental health sector, I can offer an introduction to counselling skills based on a course I developed when training peer counsellors at my previous school (2016-2020).

------------------- A little more about me:

Students and parents in the past have described me as warm and approachable, my trademark is an ability to meet the student where they are at, and use strengths-based approaches to help them uncover their potential, even during this period of less face-to-face contact. --------------------

I'm supportive and patient, and work particularly well with those who lack confidence. I like to work creatively, and have developed some playful ways to communicate and challenge online over the past year. I am based in Wales and have just begun a part-time MSc in Sustainability, which I’d eventually like to combine with my experience in mental health to reach marginalised and vulnerable young people. I love to grow my own food, swim in the great outdoors and dance around my kitchen. ---------------- Please get in touch if you have any questions at all :)
