She worked as a social worker with Islington Social Services for over twenty years. Pam is now a practicing psychotherapist and lives with her partner and their dog in West Sussex. Pam is happy and settled; family, friends and colleges surround her. However life wasn't always this way for Pam. She came from a background of horrific abuse, neglect and permanent emotional fear. As a young adult she was diagnosed as incurable and her future was bleak.
