Who Are You Now?


Andrea in Hyderabad, India

Please contact me, on andrea@whoareyounow.co.uk or ring 07814-735970.  I am based close to the city centre in Norwich, Norfolk. 

I'm a Person Centred Practitioner and was a Course Director of Counselling Skills at the University of East Anglia for 12 years.  I continue to work there, part time as a Staff Development Officer for Research Staff, whilst running this business.

 My
interest lies in the application of the Person Centred Approach in a variety of non-therapeutic settings.  I have a First Class Honours Degree in Professional Development (Work based learning and Reflective Practice) and continue to add to this with training that meets my professional and personal interests (see below).  I am a licensed NLP Practitioner and am available for one-to-one coaching.

I am also part of the team that makes up Write Out Loud, a small enterprise which offers organisations and groups the opportunity to use Creative Writing as part of the facilitative process. 

I have two young children; am a Parent Governor at my daughter’s school and a Member of the Board of Directors for
CME Ltd.
 

I can be found on Twitter, Facebook, Blogspot and BrownBook; you can access my Profile on the business networking site Linked In
