WHY I’M IN THIS LINE OF WORK 

I really enjoy learning about people’s unique life journeys and how these experiences may shape the way they think, feel and behave. I find it extremely rewarding and a great honour to see people make meaningful change to live satisfying lives.

ONE THING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT ME

When I was 7 years old, I had 7 cats. I now only have two little dogs. One is a tiny black Pug called Pebbles and the other is a Pomeranian/Poodle cross called Coco.
