About Me:
I moved to Norfolk from the Midlands over 30 years ago to study Fine Art at Norwich School of Art and Design (now Norwich University of the Arts, or NUA). I've done lots of different work over the years, including various factory-based jobs, as a care worker, various pub and retail roles. Prior to training as a counsellor I worked with a partner to grow a successful online retail business. I'm parent to two young adults. I'm neurodivergent, queer and creative.
I enjoy knitting, lino-cutting, dressmaking, and dinosaurs.​​​​​​​
