I am an Expressive Therapist, Counsellor, Educator, Leader and Author.
I specialise in the following areas:
Building resilience and emotional regulation in children and adults through meditation and mindfulness. As a former (and occasional to this day) early childhood and primary educator, I feel very strongly that teachers, carers and indeed parents have a responsibility to assist the children for whom they are responsible to develop these life skills and to develop these skills themselves.
Mindfulness in the treatment of suicidal individuals – with both personal experiences and educational background, I bring a vast array of knowledge, understanding and expertise. With the seeming "epidemic" of suicide throughout the country the need for us and our children to develop emotional intelligence, resilience and the ability to regulate our emotions has never been greater.
Meditation and mindfulness for depression and bipolar disorder - Bipolar disorder is highly recurrent and rates of comorbidity are high. Studies have pointed to anxiety comorbidity as one factor associated with risk of suicide attempts and poor overall outcome. Depression being a condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal; sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason. My techniques taught through meditation and mindfulness play a great part in enabling those facing depression or bipolar disorder to maintain themselves in a ‘safe’ zone.
Loss and Grief – The journey of personal experience in the loss of my son through suicide, and the journey as a mother, wife and educator in helping my family go through the process of grief, and face the ripple effects of suicide has enabled me to work compassionately with others facing the loss of a loved one.
There are very few of us fortunate enough not to have been touched by the loss of a family member, friend or acquaintance to suicide. My journey has enabled me to help others process, and manage their own grief..
