About me
Thank you for visiting.
Training, qualifications & experience
I've lived and worked in Australia, the UK, and South Africa. In 1988 I joined the South Africa Army after missing getting blown up by an ANC bomb in 1986. Two years and 4 tours in SA, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique toward the end of the Bush War in 1990 led me to joining the British Police in 1992, where I stayed for 18 years, before career-changing to counselling, teaching, clinical supervision, and 400 hours of Yoga Teacher Training - truly, growing my spiritual sense of Self. I've survived death and destruction and thrived beyond, through post-traumatic growth.
A Psychology degree gaining an upper 2:1 followed, with lots of fabulous counselling qualifications in between. Two Masters are imminent and a PhD in September 2027... Navigating a stellar divorce experience, re-marriage to my soul mate, and raising 3 children to adulthood is the cherry on the cake.
Now! It's my turn to pay all that back by helping you. The bonus is, a Master's Degree in Philosophy that not only explains what we do, but how and why. Let the Universe bring us together for some absolutely fabulous life-affirming therapeutic work...
