Experience
For 35 years of my working life I worked in IT, for 10 of those years I was an IT Project Manager. But since being diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2009, I decided to de-stress my life and find a new direction. I have always been a caring empathetic person and so decided to re-train as a counsellor.
I was born in the UK, lived in France, Sydney and then the Sunshine Coast. I have been happily married for the last 27 years, to my husband Kevin.
My life has given me so many experiences, which I believe has shaped me into the person I am today.
