Peer Support Trainer
Job title: Peer Wellbeing Support Trainer/Supervisor (PWS)
Working hours: Tuesday – Thursday
I have spent just over twenty years working as an educator. This has included teaching English in secondary schools, working as a middle leader in Scotland and in an international school in the Philippines, and secondments focussed on improving the education of care experienced children and young people with West Lothian Council and also the Scottish Government. I qualified as a Psychodynamic Therapist at the beginning of 2022. I was delighted to accept the role PWS trainer and supervisor in August 2023, which I combine with my private counselling & training.
Supporting students to learn listening skills, develop self-awareness and combine these into mature and confidence practice helping other students is a hugely satisfying part of my role, and one that I already love! Outside of work, I enjoy time with family and friends, walking my dog, reading (and even now, studying), going to the theatre and my guilty pleasure - eating crisps alongside some trash TV!
