Hello Psychologies Tribe, Let me introduce myself! I am an experienced journalist with a career spanning more than 30 years writing for newspapers, magazines and online publications in Australia and the UK. I write about what really matters: Family Matters, Relationship Matters, Midlife Matters, Personal Growth Matters, Health Matters, Travel Matters and most of all Humanity Matters, my latest passion! In my quest for knowledge about self and others I have studied for many years. I'm a qualified Counsellor, an instructor in Effectiveness Training communication skills and I've studied the Enneagram personality system with the Enneagram Institute in New York. In 2014-2015 I studied Transactional Analysis (TA) at the Wealden Psychology Institute in East Sussex. My husband and I migrated from Australia to the UK in 2009 and we now live in Kent, the garden of England, with our two cocker spaniels, our happy hens, veggie garden and fruit trees; a peaceful place to write between trips to Africa! We have two grown-up children who live in London and one precious grandson. Life is good at this stage of the journey and I have so much to share and contribute through my writing! Please make comments on my posts. I love to hear your views, feelings and experiences.
