  • Ep9: The Human behind the Therapist

    Calling all therapists to have a listen and honour the human behind their role.


    Working in a high pressure role with so much passion can take a toll on us if our environment does not provide the support we need.


    We all talk about self-care, but what does that really look like especially when our social battery is completely drained.


    Tune in to reflect and think about what you would like to change in your role.


    I can't wait to hear your thoughts.

  • Ep8: Unlearning & Learning Again

    After a much needed break, I am back with things that I have learnt working with autistic students.

    This month is autism awareness/acceptance month and if it is one thing I am passionate about and fight for in schools is my autistic students.


    As I upload this, I think of so many other points I should've added, so let me know if you want to know more.


    I really do hope this gives you an intro and helps improve your interactions.
