Career Summary
Currently, I have qualified to use my skills, experience and knowledge as a psychotherapist with an ability to conduct psychological insights effectively for those dealing with mental and emotional health issues.
Key achievement: for over a decade, I worked with a variety of military personnel ranging from young soldiers to senior ranks as well as through charitable work for veterans and first responders, using psychotherapeutic skills to improve their responses/reactions after emergency incidents. I have been DBS checked to work with children from age 10 through to teens facing challenges and those who have disengaged from their education, disillusioned by family issues and depressed with societal norms.
The skills gained from a background founded upon a career in Executive Personal Assistant positions, have been enhanced for meticulous record keeping and client GDPR requirements. My computer and design skills have been kept up-to-date by implementing a Desk Top Publishing service, where I create and produce marketing and promotional materials for businesses, and books for writers.
As an Executive Personal Assistant, I provided assistance to top level C-suite Executives in London and Oxford. Chiefly working within the news media, marketing, publishing and academic environments. Some of these included: Sir Trevor McDonald (News Presenter); Stuart Purvis (Managing Director) of ITN; Nigel Reeves (CEO) London News Radio; Louise Sexton (Director of Media Relations) Carlton Television and David Macmillan (COO) Macmillan Publishers. While at Oxford University, my skills were put to use for professors and researchers, namely, Dr Joanna Shapland, Dr Dick Hobbs, Dr Mike Maguire and Dr Claire Corbett at Oxford University Criminological Research Department and Dr Roger, Dr Donald Lane, and Bill Egginton at Harwell Laboratory's Energy Technology Support Unit (Renewable Energy).
Key achievements: leading a team of sales and marketing personnel to revamp, redesign and reconfigure a prominent showroom for marketing purposes, which secured the company The Queen’s Award for Environmental Conservation Activities. In addition to producing the company magazine as a marketing tool, which increased awareness of company profile, I also thoroughly enjoyed organising prestigious incentives for dealers. This included travel and accommodation for Annual Dealer Conferences, luxury trips for a 100+ Dealers (chiefly, the 1991 Rugby World Cup, the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games and a luxury Golf Tournament at the Belfry Hotel). Equally, for the University of Oxford's Research Department, I produced researchers reports, papers and books to camera-ready copy.
