I work hard to build a strong, trusting and caring relationship so that I can offer a holistic approach.
I am positive, pragmatic and non-judgemental.
With each new student and family I work with, I draw on over 25 years of experience of working in a range of roles in a wide variety of international schools. Also, I use my daily experience as a parent who has raised a son overseas and who studied in international schools. I have developed over the years an extensive professional network around the world to support me in my work. These experiences provide me with invaluable first-hand insight into the challenges that students and their families may face as well as practical support and guidance to empower students and their families to thrive overseas.

I am a trained and experienced international school Middle and High/Senior School guidance and future pathways counsellor. In this role, I have worked with 11-18 year old students in international schools to support their social, emotional, well being, academic progress, career aspirations and future pathways search and applications. I am not a registered counsellor or therapist. However, I can help you find a registered counsellor or therapist if needed. I have an extensive global network of contacts from over 25 years of working with globally mobile families.
Whilst my professional experience over the last 25 years has been with young people and families in international schools many of the ways that young people and families may need guidance and support are common to mobile and non-mobile families.
No. I also have extensive experience of supporting Primary/Elementary School children and their families. I work with 9-11 year old students to provide transition-care support to Senior/Middle School. A lot of my work in recent years has also been providing transitional support for students going to university overseas. This work has included social, emotional, academic and wellbeing support and guidance for students during their university years and beyond. Many families feel more comfortable sending their children off to university overseas knowing that a trusted and experienced adult is providing their child with a bit of extra guidance and support.
Yes. I offer small groups of friends and or parent sessions. For example, I have facilitated small group online Stress Management and Examination Techniques sessions for students and An Introduction to the IBDP and An Introduction to Applying to University in the UK sessions for parents.
Why do I need your services?
I am a firm believer in building a strong and diverse support network and encouraging young people to do the same. We all need different types of support at different stages in our lives. I am offering to be another person, with a range of extensive professional experience, in your network who can support and guide you in a positive, pragmatic and non-judgemental way.
Finding the right person with whom you feel comfortable working with is an important process. To help with this process I offer the first 15-minute session for free with no further obligation or commitment. This way we have the chance to see if we feel comfortable working together. I will be honest with you if I am not the best person to give you the support and guidance you need and I will help you to find someone who is a better fit. I have an extensive network of contacts from over 25 years of working with mobile families.
Yes. Very much so. Sometimes we just need to talk through something with someone who has a range of extensive professional experience for support and guidance.
