Allow me to introduce myself.
I am Rebecca.
Rebecca Livermore as a musician and teacher, Rebecca Burman as a Coach, Facilitator, Support Worker, Artist and Mental Health First-Aider.
I was born and bred a classical musician. I went to music college and have been a principal player in various London based orchestra’s for 30 years.
In 2014, after a period of poor mental health, I was diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder. This was to be pivotal point, marking my need to extend myself. A deep interest in the workings of the brain, a new exploration of ways to express myself, and consequently a deep need to help others too.
In 2017 I was awarded a ‘Katherine McGillivray Get A Life Fund’, and consequently took time out of my musical career to study the life and work of French-American artist Louise Bourgeois, and to further my own visual art practice.
In this same year I was diagnosed with the chronic disease Endometriosis. As I waited for surgery I became increasingly disabled and spent a lot of time housebound.
After major, and very successful, surgery in 2019, I went on to lose my brother-in-law to Psychosis and then my Mum to a brain tumour.
In 2020 I commenced my studies to become a Coach and Mentor.
This is where my passion really lies now. I specialise in working with Neurodivergent people and parents of Neurodivergent children and 2021 brought ongoing exploration of my own Neurodiversity.
Alongside this, I facilitate monthly peer support meetings for creative mothers, I am a support worker, working with young people with complex needs, a violin teacher and there is always a creative project on the go.
I am also a mother, an avid reader of fiction and autobiographies, and have regular phases of attempting perfection in culinary matters!
