My Approach
I sometimes wonder what brought me to where I am, perhaps you do too?
I love working with people who are open, curious and willing to be vulnerable.
I enjoy the full range of human emotions (perhaps some yet to be discovered).
I’m curious about self-fulfilment, resilience, and those difficult experiences that enable us to grow and change.
Relationships are central to me.
I embrace connection, kindness and being present to others and at the same time, maintaining a core sense of self with boundaries.
Understanding ‘our half’ provides the best conditions for ourselves and others to thrive. Working together we achieve more, we get fresh ideas, and spark actions that would be impossible alone.
Let’s explore what this means and how we can create conditions for our optimal well-being.
I know the value of working with community, and the importance of bringing creativity and joy to what we do.
I work with individuals, communities and organisations to increase well-being.
I actively promote a ‘Best Possible Self’ agenda.
