Suzanne Lyn-Cook

I am a woman of Caribbean heritage who grew up in Britain. Early in my career I worked in front-line care services. For 30 years I have worked with individuals and groups, as an educator, mentor, organisational consultant, coach and therapist. I am passionate about diversity, equality and personal empowerment and have extensive experience working with identity and difference, helping individuals to reveal the (sometimes hidden) strength and creativity within. As part of an ongoing practice I am also committed to helping people who have experienced deeply traumatic events to heal and recover from trauma, loss and marginalisation, to enable them to fulfil their potential both personally and professionally. As I've matured I have developed a deeper desire for compassionate self-understanding and a recognition for the necessity to age with consciousness. Just as we need tools to aid and live life fully so to we require components to help us mature with awareness.
