: About Me

I am 53 years of age.

I had to leave school at the age of 15, with no qualifications (O levels were taken at the age of 16) but a determination to succeed AND an ambition to live a decent lifestyle. With no help, no qualifications and no money I made sure I did.

I have set up and run various businesses and worked as a private therapist, life coach and relationship expert for approx 24 and have been semi-retired for approx 10 years. I have been asked to appear on tv, radio and write for magazines and newspapers. I have had a lot of famous clients and been praised by journalists. I have written for magazines, newspapers, telextext and premium rate lines...where people would phone and pay $4 a minute to listen to my advice and opinions on pre-recorded tapes. My therapy business was built up and become very popular and Worldwide, where I had staff and offices everywhere.

Over the years I and my junior staff have listened to and helped 1000s of people from all over the World... by spoken and written word. I have helped and still help non profit making charities and organisations by giving free advice, articles, treatment and support to people who suffer from anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, victims of emotional, mental, sexual and physical abuse, other emotional and mental health issues and victims of paedoephiles.

Now I am retired and own and rent out apartments and houses which I own. I am not at all interested in work and just write the odd article and lead a slow, leisurely relaxed life instead.

1 of 4

DOG BREED: HAIRLESS CHINESE CRESTED These dogs are wonderful little creatures, very affectionate, alert, friendly, loyal to their owner, obedient and trying to please you. For a small dog they have a huge personality. They are not neurotic, they do not bark and jump about constantly as other small dogs often do. They are not restless and constantly on the go. They are usually quiet and well-behaved and happy to sit with you watching television with you or walking obediently by your side when you take them for a walk. There are not a lot of Chinese Cresteds about in comparison to some other...
