About Me
- Paul Avard
- West Midlands UK, United Kingdom
- I was an advisory teacher for children with Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties - aka SEBD, but now subsumed under SEND. I started my work in tis field in a secure unit for children - 11 - 17 years of age. Then moved on to support young folk in secondary schools, aged 11 - 18 yrs. I worked as a counsellor / therapist for a Charity (co-incidentally, I was Chair of this not for profit for a number of years) then trained as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and worked with adults and children in this role, in my own practice. I started blogging this year (although there are some stop / start efforts on-line. I was certain of my voice or topic, but having worked throughout the Brexit debacle I know I now want to 'speak truth unto power' and will be focusing on the monumental screw-up that is the English Education system. If you follow my blog, you'll see why I refer to it as that!!
