About Me
My goal for clients is to help them explore their issues, evaluate options, achieve clarity on the path ahead and create a plan to support them in their journey forward.
A diverse career has enabled me to develop a range of skills in the fields of Law, Mediation, Human Resources Management and Counselling. This evolution has been driven by an intention to broaden and deepen my skill set and the quality of service I provide.
At the heart of all my work is the desire to empower people and understand their perspective in order to help them facilitate positive outcomes. My focus is to equip people with practical tools so that they feel confident, well-informed and in control.
Early days in Family Law
In my early career as a Lawyer working in Family Law, I felt constrained by the combative and conflict-driven environment. After I had children I switched my focus to family law mediation, where I could help families achieve better outcomes through a more empowering, constructive process.
Human Resources
I joined a local Real Estate agency in 2012, where I support 30 team members as a Human Resources Manager. It was in this role that I became fascinated with human behaviour, personality traits, communication styles and how to devise strategies to assist people to reach their fullest potential.
Counselling: a new direction
Much of my life’s work has involved counselling in one form or another and in 2018 I set out to formalise my experience by undertaking a Diploma of Counselling. The further I progressed, the more I found that the course content resonated with me on a deeper level. This reignited a sense of purpose and a feeling that this is exactly where my career path has been leading me.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT or ‘tapping’)
I became interested in the stress reduction techniques known as tapping after hearing about it in a podcast with Dawson Church, who is a leader in the tapping field. After researching the techniques and trying them myself with an EFT practitioner, I was hooked! It is now the primary modality I use to assist my clients. More information about tapping can be found on the EFT tab of this website.
Today, I find no greater reward than helping people find their way forward. In an empathetic and non-judgmental manner, I apply practical approaches and break down concepts so they can be easily understood by my clients.
