Career[]

Roffey trained as a teacher, and spent most of her teaching career working in off-site units for students who had been excluded from school for behaviour problems. After a masters degree in the education of children with special needs at the University College London Institute of Education, she went on to qualify there as an educational psychologist. She worked as an educational psychologist in Essex and in the London Borough of Haringey, finishing as the principal psychologist there. After completing her doctorate in educational psychology at UEL, she moved to Australia, and subsequently began teaching on the training course for school counsellors at the University of Western Sydney (UWS). As her writing and external training business developed she moved to an adjunct position at UWS and began working internationally.[5]
