I have always been the one my friends turn to for advice and support – one described me as “a wise owl”.

I believe the four As to discovering yourself and finding your way to true happiness are: Analysis, Acknowledgement, Acceptance and Action. I focus on the final step: action, because without doing something, taking positive action we cannot effect change.

I have studied counselling, but more importantly I’ve had life experiences: married at nineteen and divorced at twenty-three; at thirty-two I was told I couldn’t have children; within a seven-year period, my brother and both my parents died after long illnesses; I have survived cancer.

Having cancer changed my perspective on life; all the usual things I had considered problems were dwarfed in comparison. I learned that it isn’t so much what happens to us in life, but how we react to it that’s important. I learned what happiness really is.

My philosophy is: We only have one life so it’s important to live it well.
