Having a career in education spanning almost 20 years (the last 6 of those as a school counsellor) and as a parent of 2 children, I understand (and am sometimes completely astounded) at how incredibly complicated working and living with young people can be. I now provide counselling, training and consulting services to school based staff to support them with managing their own wellbeing, with a particular focus on healthy coping strategies and increasing awareness about areas of relevance to teachers in their work with young people as a means to increase their overall mental and emotional health.
