Helen Barratt
About Helen I am an Australian Southern Cross University social science student, Byron Bay hippy, counsellor, supervisor, IT professional and mother with teenage children, horses and dogs, who loves science and is concerned about vulnerable and endangered people, animals, species and habitats on this planet. I also have a Bachelor of Science honor degree in Psychology, though I have worked for many years as an Information Technology (IT) professional, contracting, project managing, designing, programming and debugging computer systems in a variety of industries in Europe and Australasia.

Several years ago my husband and family made a 'sea-change' move away from being IT professionals in Sydney, to doing organic, fruit and livestock permaculture farming in Byron Bay, Australia, where I am now also studying for a Bachelor of Social Science degree majoring in counselling. For 7 years I have been working as a volunteer crisis telephone counsellor and more recently as a crisis telephone counsellor's supervisor on call and as a professional 'face to face' counsellor.
