PETERBOROUGH
Summary
I am a determined School Counselor with success in helping students with additional special needs, achieve educational goals and personal goals as well as learning about well-being. I am sensitive to socioeconomic and cultural difference of the students, who have various issues. I am also a mental health first aider and have experience counseling students in mental health, academics and interpersonal conflicts. I drive to help students achieve success by providing guidance on life choices. I am attentive in identifying early warning signs of harmful behavior sexual or physical in students to provide preventive counseling.
I would consider myself consistent in meeting the established goals of the counseling program.
I am currently studying a school counseling course to further my progression in this field.

I am a trained counsellor with expertise in children and adolescents who has over a decade of experience. I have a keen interest in the impact of trauma on young people and the complex recovery process they may need. Talking and play therapies are ideal for young people to express themselves and to work through challenges they may be facing. My persona is one of patience, understanding and, when needed, a good sense of humour.
Having worked in education for over two decades, including working with young people with complex and additional needs, I am aware of the changing society that we live in and the emerging demands our young people face. I am currently studying Level 5 in Child Psychology as I believe that the theory and practices of the two go hand in hand.
