A little more about me
I had a varied career before becoming a therapist; teaching English as a foreign language in Italy and working in different office jobs around the UK.
Recently I went to Sierra Leone for two weeks to teach Maths and English, and help local charities with their projects.
In my spare time I enjoy walking in the beautiful countryside around Leeds and in the Dales and going to the cinema.
