I've always been ambitious and in teaching I've found plenty of opportunities to progress.

As head of English I now get to support all the other teachers in my department.

They often learn from my advice, though actually I often learn from theirs. The support and development

we all get from each other is amazing. It benefits not just us, but every student we teach.

How many of the professions can say that?

Every lesson shapes a life, starting with your own.

Search, get into teaching. This is a paid advertisement from Better Help.

You think as Leeds fans that we'd be well attuned to feeling the fear, but there are things that scare us all on a personal

level it's probably not Halloween zombies and ghosts anymore but more subtle

deep-seated things. Therapy is a great tool for facing your fears and finding ways to overcome them.

Thanks to therapy, I learned that an anxiety I had about going out for food and paying the bill

was actually rooted in fears about being self-employed and job security and money and gaining that awareness

helped me to manage it and move forward.

So therapy isn't just about trying to overcome major trauma, it can help you understand

yourself better on a deep level.

And with over 5,000 therapists in the UK already, better help can provide access to

mental health professionals with a wide variety of expertise in mental health.
