What is your role?

Wellness Manager/ Counsellor – Health Services

What do you love most about your role and working for Bamara?

I am rewarded and amazed everyday by the incredible positive changes that occur after even just one session of counselling with a participant. I love to hear people’s life stories and to support them to overcome the complex challenges that many of our participants are dealing with.

I also love to receive the appreciation and acknowledgement that staff and participants have shared with me on their journeys to strength and resilience.

Tell us a little about your family?

I have 3 beautiful grown adult daughters who are out there in the world making me proud of them. So just hubby and my dog Maisie home with me.

Favourite activity you like to do with your family or friends?

So many….. I love life and enjoy dining out with friends, coffee and dog walks on the beach, (used to love my OS holidays) painting, hugs and dancing!

What three words would other people use to describe you?

Compassionate, peaceful and fun

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Not a good question at the moment!!!! I have travelled extensively but my favourite country was definitely Iceland. Bhutan is next on my bucket list.
