MY JOURNEY has taken me to different parts of the world, including regions devastated by natural catastrophes and tragedy.   I feel privileged to have worked with communities, families and individuals affected by ongoing trauma, chronic stress, anxiety and grief, and to have witnessed their courage and resilience. These experiences have inspired me to help others wherever I can, and to extend our services as far as technology allows.  

​

MY WORK has included supporting youth in high schools and universities, and in community private practice. I have worked in medical settings and with businesses, supporting individual adults, couples and families. I work often with a brief intervention model, looking for positive client outcomes within a short and defined period. I also provide longer term support for clients challenged by complex personal issues. In addition to our Executive Coaching, we provide training and consultation to our business clients.

​

MY TRAINING introduced me to a range of counselling models, including Gestalt Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Person Centred Therapy and Behavior Therapy. I draw on different modalities to suit each client's unique needs. A Person Centred philosophy and method creates a platform for my work, viewing each client as the expert on themselves, and creating the right conditions for each person to grow to their fullest potential.

 

MY SUPPORT I have experienced counselling and therapy as part of my formal training and ongoing professional development.

My work is supervised and assessed regularly as part of my professional registration.

​

Being in nature and in the community, music and the arts, writing, reading, supportive relationships and family, are a source of sustenance and joy to me.

 

I look forward to the opportunity of sharing your journey.

All journeys start with a single step.
