Heather Smith
My academic qualifications include a first class honours degree and post graduate degree in Psychology, a teaching qualification and a variety of other qualifications including in counselling and BSL.
My employment background is primarily in education, where I have worked at all levels from nursery to University, in both teaching and research. In 2003 I was responsible for introducing TAG Teach to adults with Special needs - mainly profoundly Autistic and also for the inclusion of adults with profound special needs in tertiary education within the organisation I was then working in. I have been instrumental in implementing stress management controls in the workplace including relaxation sessions for employees, as well as assertiveness training and sessions on people awareness/dealing with people promoting appropriate behaviour in the workplace.
I currently run my own successful buisness, 'Trainyourdogs with Heather Smith'
