Who am I?  Why should you talk to me?

  1. I worked in recruitment in a large, complex international organization for many years.  Organizing the selection of all levels of staff, from high-level international professionals to support staff, and consultants working overseas in developing countries, gave me a deep insight into who are the best candidates, what they need to do to get the job of their dreams as well as understanding the type of thing that works against someone, even though they could be the best possible candidate.

    My name is Sally Storr.  I am British-born and lived in Geneva, Switzerland for over 20 years before coming to live in Cambridge, UK.  I have a BSc in Psychology from Open University (UK) and a Masters in Counseling (yes, Counseling is spelt with one "l" in American English!) from Webster University. 

    I loved working in recruitment because I met all kinds of fascinating people and loved getting to know them all.  Recruitment is such a fascinating activity, and at the same time full of pitfalls!  I also met a lot of people who were in the wrong jobs, and who didn't know how to get out or couldn't see how they could ever change their lives. 

    Through learning counselling and applying it at work, I have helped hundreds of people to improve their lives.  How can I help you?

1.  by guiding you to learn about yourself by building up a fresh new CV and reflecting deeply on what you want to do and how to get there;
2.  by teaching you about your transferable skills;
3.  by mentoring you to set yourself targets for changing your career and your life;
4.  by building your confidence;
5.  by preparing you for job applications and interviews;
6.  by helping you with difficult relationships and situations at work;
7.  by training you how to worry less and live more using psychological techniques to alleviate stress and reduce anxiety;
8.  by leading you to understand how to get what you want out of life by learning to be assertive and authentic to yourself and others!

I am a graduate member of the British Psychology Society (BPS) and a Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), and have recently become a Level 3 Matwork Pilates teacher.

When I am not career counselling, I am either teaching psychotherapy or pilates.  My philosophy on life is to do what you love doing most and to live a balanced life.
