My Story
I am in my second decade of sobriety. I was an addict most of my early adult life. I swapped one substance and destructive behaviour for another, self-medicating to feel something other than the pain buried deep in my subconscious mind. The cost to my family, my friends & myself was immense. No one around me felt safe, I was a reactive and avoidant person, unable to control my emotions, lost in a spiral of clinical depression and anxiety.
​
In my darkest days, I was introduced to Change Work. I had gone through so many different variations of Talk Therapy only to be left as unresolved as I was in the past and as connected and associated with my trauma as I was when it occurred.
I chose to roll the dice one more time, Change Work gave me the experience and tools to trust, both myself and others. I got to rewrite the narrative of my life, where I became the Hero and not the victim.
I chose to flip the story I believed had already been written for me and remove the labels that someone else stuck on my back. In doing so, I learnt the most valuable lesson I could.
I am here Now, because I survived Then.
​
Today, as a Counsellor, Modern Hypnotherapist and Mind Training practitioner I am inspired by the courage of the men and woman I support both professionally and through my volunteer work. They are my daily motivation to continue to refine my knowledge and relationship with the subconscious and conscious mind. I continue to be excited in discovering, understanding and resolving those parts of me that I once used as destructive coping strategies. This work provides me the opportunity to grow as the compassionate, wise and skilled practitioner I am Now.

Groups & Programs
Through my work with, The Mankind Project, My Still Place and Mind Mechanic programs I am experienced Facilitator, co-creating spaces where individuals can feel safe to explore unresourceful reactions, feelings, emotions and trauma they may never have touched on before.
All emotions are real and shouldn’t be denied. Emotions exist to keep us safe and assist in navigating the world. If we can’t acknowledge them or have been taught to hide them, we’ll mess ourselves up and find other ways to cope with our lives. By coming together, and supporting each other, my support groups are able to create a new kind of strength that is built on authenticity, support, acceptance and an understanding that you are not alone.
