About Me

I offer a personalised coaching experience that begins with exploring your obstacles, achievements, and goals, using evidence-based mind-body approaches to build self-awareness, compassion, and alignment with your values.

In over 30 years of clinical practice I have assisted a range of others, from 10 to 90 years of age, from 'ordinary' folk to high performance athletes. I have 12 years of dual training in clinical psychology and manipulative physiotherapy, training as a life coach, and experience as a tertiary educator and professional skydiver.

I include mental strategies, mind-body and behavioural retraining, and graduated tasks to help you access your natural strengths, grow your confidence, and achieve measurable success. With compassion, professionalism, and a structured, trauma' informed, results-driven approach, I ensure you’re supported every step of the way.

Aside from experience with a range of mental and physical health issues, my special interests include: finding greater life meaning and achieving your dreams, goal setting, performance pressure, life & career transitions, grief, and optomising your health despite persistent pain.

Results & Goals

My most important goal is;

To help my client understand what motivates them, find meaning in what they are seeking, and empower my client to access their own strengths and resources to achieve the changes they desire.

One client summarised this as: "greater insight, focus, impulse management, and self- mastery"

How I like to coach

I coach with a person-centered approach; meaning I believe that you are the encyclopedia of yourself! You have the knowledge and insight to know what is best for you; sometimes it just needs uncovering!

My approach is to meet my client where they are; I might consider the role of a clients' history and how any trauma might be obstructing change. I might move rapidly with them into coping or performance training strategies according to their most current needs. I bring sensitivity and compassion to assist the development of shared insights, understanding, and goals. I apply my knowledge and experience to supporting the appropriate steps I and my client discover suit what they really want. This usually includes setting achievable goals that the client takes responsibility for working towards, and me communicating with you to support you in written form between sessions.
