I work as a coach, counsellor, and facilitator with individuals, groups, and teams, offering face-to-face and online services.

My experience as a registered counsellor is in working with individuals who need support with addiction, grief and loss, change, trauma, anxiety, personal and work-related stress, and burnout. I have extensive academic and practical experience implementing Employee Assistance Programmes and workplace wellness programmes. My interest in organisational culture and its impact on individuals in the workplace drew me to Human Resources Leadership roles in the petroleum and retail sectors for several years. Here, I gained deep experience in organisational culture interventions, leadership facilitation and team effectiveness workshops, (including conflict management skills), change management, performance management, employment equity strategies, employee communication methodologies, employee relations and talent management.

During my years in the corporate environment, I encountered a quote by Sophie Bush which resonated with me: "You are allowed to be a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time". When we are enabled and supported to recognise that we each have unique strengths and abilities and that these stay intact while we continue to grow and develop, we learn to thrive without unnecessary armour. The availability of skilled, confidential coaching or counselling can make a significant difference but is often unaffordable and inaccessible to most individuals who could benefit from it in the workplace. My interest in neuroscience and the importance of a growth mindset resulted in my further studies in neuroscience and obtaining a coaching qualification. This enabled me to increase my offering and to start my independent practice as a registered counsellor and certified coach.

Drawing on my broad experience and skills and my passion for seeing individuals thrive, I combine my counselling, coaching and experience in corporate culture, to work with individuals, groups or teams in an affordable and accessible way.

In addition to being an Insights Associate Facilitator, I offer team and group facilitation and workshops to companies and schools.

Two specific workshops I offer that can significantly impact individuals are "Constructive Conversations in Conflict - Reframing and Navigating Difficult Conversations" and "Emotional Intelligence". These workshops can be online or in-house or tailor-made to suit the environment and audience. These workshops are both practical and insightful, drawing on relevant models, and latest research and woven into an understanding of neuroscience, providing individuals with relevant insight to apply their learning immediately. As individuals, we have significant opportunities to bring our best selves to work and personally - especially when we create the mindset that "we are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress".

As a comfortable public speaker and guest lecturer, I present, educate, and empower individuals and groups on numerous topics, including sexual harassment, substance abuse, stress and burnout, and various leadership topics. When we are equipped with education and information, we learn alternative ways of addressing issues that may have previously seemed impossible.
