Hello
My name is Alison Kennedy, After working in the Civil Service for 8 years, I joined the Royal Navy in 1991. It was still a very male-dominated world, and it took a very long time for women to be accepted on warships. I served for nearly 16 years and served on 3 ships, the last one being HMS Ark Royal, for the last Gulf War. I sustained an injury on the Ark Royal, which culminated in 2 spells at Headley Court, the Forces rehabilitation Centre. I then got medically discharged from the Navy.
I’ve never regretted joining the Navy, I travelled the world, and made life long friendships. I would do it all over again, without any hesitation. I found the transition from the Navy to Civvie Street a bit daunting. Particularly, as I was advised to register disabled. I worked for the NHS for 6 months, before getting a role as a Regional Manager in Logica, the IT Services company. This involved training military personnel and civilians. I really enjoyed it and loved the travel. I was very disappointed to be made redundant when Logica lost the MOD contract but realised it was an opportunity to indulge in my love of animals and helping out at the local dog rescue, I set up my own dog walking, dog boarding and dog training business 5 years ago. I absolutely love it.
I became interested in Neuro Linguistic Therapy, Hypnotherapy and Provocative Change, after having some counselling when my Mum died. Since then, I have completed several courses and done a lot of online training. The subconscious mind fascinates me, and why we react a certain way in some situations. I have learnt that, however, bleak things appear, a crisis, such as redundancy, can often give you the impetus to make changes in your life, and is a new opportunity to make a fresh start.
