“Work In Progress”
I’ve spent most of my career working at the intersection of business, psychology and performance – and I know how easy it is to carry pressure quietly while everything on the outside looks fine.
I’ve coached executives, led teams, taught performance psychology and business strategy and coached my son as he competed in Paralympic sport. Through all of that I kept coming back to the same thing – people need calm, real world support to make sense of what they are feeling, and to figure out what’s next.
Now I work with individuals and business owners who want to find clarity, regain direction and feel more in control – emotionally, mentally and practically. I don’t take a one size fits all approach, I’ll meet you where you are, and help map a path that’s realistic for your life, family and business.
My approach is practical and evidence based, drawing on methods like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Positive Psychology to enable clients to regain control of their lives.
I am a member of the Australian Psychological Society, and my Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) registration number is PSY0001318762.
