My Story

I have been working in the mental health field for the past 15 years. I have a degree in Social Anthropology, a diploma in counselling and I am registering as a Social Worker.  My career started in adventure therapy working with young people and has led me to working with people from all ages and diverse backgrounds, in many challenging situations.  I believe in the power of telling stories and the value of sharing life's journeys in order to develop healthy strategies for living.  One of the main approaches I employ is a Compassion Based Approach.  This looks at our internal dialogue and beliefs we hold and how this impacts on our daily lives.  Through looking at these aspects of our interior world we can begin to reshape how we approach and integrate new ways of dealing with life.​

In my spare time I hang out with my pets, hike, read and spend time with family (see pics below)
