Trained in counselling, hypnotherapy & coaching a combination of these modalities can be used to help you reach your goals sooner. Many people will, at some point in their lives, find themselves in the role of a counsellor, However, wont have an understanding of the concept of counselling or what the role of the professional counsellor entails. There is a big difference between a professional counsellor and a person who uses some counselling skills as part of their role, for example their role as a friend or colleague. A professional counsellor is a highly trained individual who is able to use a different range of counselling approaches when working with clients. So given this information, it is important to know a little about me. My Background... Having spent many years working in the finance industry in a corporate role, I found myself seeking regular massages to care for my mind, body, and spirit. This then led to me studying a Diploma of Remedial Massage, Diploma of Corporate Stress Therapies, and various other qualifications in child and adolescent massage. During this 15-year journey, it became obvious that I was bound to undertake an additional life journey into a Bachelor Degree in Counselling at the Australian College of Applied Psychology. Working initially in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility, I decided to spread my wings in a more generalist area and started with the community aid centre, ADRA, in Blacktown. There I have had the opportunity to meet and work with many clients suffering various different conditions from depression to addiction, schizophrenia, anxiety and trauma, just to name a few. Looking back at my career and occupations, I have always had a passion for working with people and helping them to feel better about themselves and their lives, in a safe, supportive environment. I continually undertake professional education and am an active participant in local interagency meetings and interested in local issues pertaining to mental health. My additional studies thus far have been in the areas of Clinical Hypnotherapy, Pain Management using the OLD PAIN 2 GO methodology, sand tray therapy, trauma, cognitive behaviour therapy for generalised anxiety, and grief and loss. I am passionate about my own personal and professional development, which includes regular clinical supervision to enhance the quality of my work, meaning clients have the best possible counselling relationship, allowing optimising our work together. Qualifications: Bachelor of Counselling; Dip. Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP, Old Pain 2 Go Practitioner; Diploma of Remedial Massage; Diploma of Corporate Stress Therapies; Diploma of Sports Injury Therapy; Infant Massage Instructor. Professional Memberships Australian Counsellors Association; Australian Traditional Medicine Society; Australian Hypnotherapy Association.

Your working day might finish at 5pm.
That doesn't necessarily mean your brain does.

You get home, but you're still replaying a conversation from earlier.

You're thinking about the thing you didn't finish.

You're mentally planning tomorrow.

You check an email because it will “only take a minute”.

Or you're sitting with your family watching television while part of your brain is still somewhere back at work.

This is something I hear about regularly, and it's the reason I created The Switch Off Blueprint.

It's a practical, self-paced online program for people who are perfectly capable of doing their job but are finding that work is taking up far too much space outside working hours.

Across five modules, I teach you practical ways to create a clearer end to your working day, deal with unfinished tasks and recurring work thoughts, recognise when useful thinking has turned into rumination, create better boundaries and work out what actually helps you recover.

You'll also receive the participant workbook, your own Personal Switch Off Plan and a 15-minute guided Switch Off audio for the days when you need some extra help making that transition.

It's not about never thinking about work again.

It's about being able to notice when work has followed you home and having a reliable way to leave it there.

One of the most well known tools in solution focused therapy is something called the miracle question.

It goes something like this: suppose tonight, while you were asleep, a miracle happened and the problem that brought you here was solved. How would you know? What would be different?

It sounds almost too simple, but the answers people give are often incredibly specific, and those specifics become the starting point for real, practical change.
It's not about wishing, it's about getting clear on what 'better' actually looks like for you.
Ever tried answering a question like that for yourself?

For whoever is heading into the week ahead feeling like it's a lot.

It's okay to not have it all figured out.

One step. That's all that's needed right now.

There are things I understand very differently now than I did 20 years ago.

One of them is stress. Maybe that's because of my own journey that became life threatening.

I used to think that if you were coping, you were coping.

You got on with things. You dealt with whatever was happening. You went to work, looked after your family, paid the bills and handled the next problem when it came along, and if you could do all of that, you were okay.

I don't see it that way anymore.

I think some of us become incredibly good at carrying things.

We carry work pressure, family responsibilities, financial worries, other people's problems and all the everyday things that life throws at us, and because we're capable of carrying it, we keep adding more.

But being capable of carrying something doesn't mean carrying it indefinitely has no effect on you.

That's probably the biggest thing I understand differently now.

Stress doesn't always look like someone who can't cope.

Sometimes it looks exactly like someone who can.
