My Story
Following graduating as an Occupational Therapist in 2001 I have worked in a range of public, private and primary care settings in both New Zealand and the UK supporting clients with a huge range of challenges e.g. mental health, brain injury/stroke and cancer.
After the birth of my second daughter ten years ago I experienced severe post natal anxiety and depression. I bring my courage, non-judgement and compassion from my own mental health journey to every encounter within Workitwell. This experience fuelled my passion to support individuals and workplaces to gain skills to support their wellbeing pro-actively, and with compassionate, real, research based guidance.
I utilise my very unique personal and professional skillset to facilitate, guide and coach individuals and organisations.
My Approach
At Workitwell I pride myself on my ability to ignite new learning and ideas in a fun non-judgmental environment. I bring a combination of exceptional skills as both facilitator and educator, quickly building rapport and trust. I adapt my approach to differing learning styles, readiness for engagement and cultural differences.
I work alongside you to bring the very latest knowledge and practical skills that can be easily implemented, lowering your stress levels, enhancing workplace culture and productivity.
I bring compassionate, non-judgemental guidance and empathy to all mental health therapy sessions.
I use Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), practical problem solving techniques, coaching and skills training to inform practice.
