Training

With 17 years of experience as a leader in education, I have developed an in-depth understanding of the demands, pressures and complexities of the modern workplace.

Promoting mental health, wellbeing and resilience has always been a particular passion. This commitment led to the award of two travel fellowships, providing opportunities to visit Canada, the USA and Australia to research good practice in promoting wellbeing and building resilience across a range of settings.

A growing interest in wellbeing also inspired me to pursue further professional qualifications, graduating from Middlesex University in 2011 with a First Class Honours Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Today, my work as a Training Consultant with Inspire Wellbeing involves delivering a wide range of wellbeing training programmes to schools and statutory organisations across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Alongside this role, I run my own private training consultancy, Positive Pathways, providing training to schools, community groups and statutory organisations.

Continuing professional development is an important part of my approach, ensuring that the training I deliver reflects new developments and thinking in wellbeing. Over the years, I've had the privilege of completing training programmes with leading experts in the field, including Dr Rick Hanson, Dr Tony Humphreys, Dr Sue Roffey, Dr Toni Noble, Sir John Jones and Dr Les Greenberg.
