Having been a coaching and therapy practitioner for many years, I now write and teach about trauma in the hope of enabling others to find their way to healing and a joyful life. I started my career as a nurse in London, and then had a varied career through further education teaching, being an NHS Manager in Devon, then within NHS Education and Training policy at a national level, moving onto organisational and leadership development consultancy and running a consultancy business for eighteen years. I now lead a quieter life by the sea.
