Education and Parenting Consultant

Gill Hines

I have worked with children and families for over 40 years now in a range of roles - primarily in Educational settings before I became self employed 15 years ago. Now I am best known for my workshops and books for parents and my down to earth approach to helping children and young people become the best versions of themselves. 

I now live in Suffolk after a lifetime in London and I'm thoroughly enjoying the change.
