Deborah Shaer

Deborah Shaer is a child and adolescent therapist-counsellor, with a background as a school therapeutic counsellor specialising in the arts. Currently, she is working in private practice in London. Her work is integrative and transpersonal, incorporating a wide range of therapeutic approaches including psycho-education. Deborah's past experiences include teaching English to speakers of other languages (ESOL). Prior to that, she devoted stretches of her time in India, covering a span of ten years whilst deepening her meditation and mindfulness practice alongside community work. Her advocacy for holistic education, and social and cultural awareness arises out of her own history and the marginalisation suffered by many of the children and adolescents she has worked with. This is her first book.
