Hello and thanks for taking a look at my blog site ‘Psychologist Thinking Aloud’. I have been a nurse, a policewoman, a teacher and then for the last twenty five years, an educational psychologist. Now it is time for another change as my wish to write for a living and to have a more flexible and creative lifestyle has become more compelling with the arrival of grandchildren. I cover a wide range of topics and try to make the posts as readable and thought-provoking as possible whilst at the same time staying within the guiding principles of respect, integrity, competence and responsibility that I have always followed as a professional psychologist. If you have any comments or questions after reading one of my posts please do make contact through the facility on this site and I will do my best to respond where appropriate. Go well and stay open to new thoughts! Kairen
