Paulette says, “Whether it’s for self-definition, self-discovery, making sense of the chaos in your life, for emotional release, to help define a renewed sense of direction, to deal with loss and grief, or to be a nicer person for your partner, family or workmates to be around, there are thousands of reasons why people want to get more out of life.
I am passionate about neuroscience that enables us to become aware of the neurophysiological circuits that drive us mostly unbeknowns to us at a conscious level. Psychoeducation is paramount to gain resilience and self-regulation. Those who become well-equipped to change their unwanted, undesirable behaviours are people who understand how to use their superpowers for quality-of-life instead of mismanaging them in ways that can have devastating effects on their wellbeing and life trajectory. Together we can work on reacquainting you with your former self or reinventing a new You poised to navigate life with a greater ease.
