About Me

My interest in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) has taken me on a long and varied journey and one that I feel privileged to be experiencing still. Working with children and families affected by SEND and SEMH has been my life's work to date. From classteacher in a primary mainstream school to managing a team of highly-skilled Advisory Teachers for West Sussex County Council (WSCC), I have always taken pride in my underpinning principles - working in a child-centred way, with honesty and practical support central to my work ethic.

​

As a consultant, coach and trainer the same values remain and the knowledge, understanding and experience gained along the way enable me to provide my clients with  quality advice and support at affordable rates.
