Mark Chester
I previously worked in local government for almost 40 years’. The most rewarding of this time was as a CEO, helping communities grow and thrive and encouraging and supporting individuals to reach their full potential. My desire to help people manage stress and other mental health issues commenced in earnest 15 years ago when I undertook to attain a diploma in Family Therapy and Counselling, with the view one day to change careers. More recently I completed a Graduate Diploma in Family & Relationship Therapy. I have a number of other qualifications in management, this knowledge and experience helps me help others in communication, managing mental health, identifying strategies and helping individuals consider change in a positive way. I am also a qualified trainer and assessor in leadership with a focus on local government elected members and officers.
