About Sussex CelebRants
Wedding, Funeral and Family Celebrants
Gillian Covey
A lifetime spent caring for people and supporting them through key moments in their lives, led me to the point of becoming a Life Celebrant. I am a proud graduate of the Academy of Modern Celebrants and whom I trained and qualified with in Funeral, Wedding and Naming Celebrancy. I also have full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance.
I have a 28 year career in Nursing which has comprised many interesting roles.
My clinical background was largely in palliative care and my masters degree is in Public Health.
After retiring I missed working with people and trained as a portrait photographer, shooting my fair share of weddings, people and animals.
It would be fair to say that I like to keep busy,
but perhaps you can get a feel for my professionalism, creativity, public speaking abilities and empathetic ear.
How does it all tie together? Well, years of writing lecturers and teaching means that I am great at story telling, and my nursing experience means that I am a good person to have on your side in times of need both.
Trude and I met when our kids were young and we were both school governors. We have a very similar sense of humour and outlook on life.
