Helping people reach their full potential and finding the inherent strengths within them to build capability and resilience giving them the tools to tackle even the most pressing of issues.

I work with a broad range of issues including post traumatic stress, traumatic grief, parenting, self-esteem, body-image, shame, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and challenging family or life circumstances.
