My Story
Following graduating as an Occupational Therapist in 2001 I have worked in a range of public health, private and primary care settings in both New Zealand and the UK, predominantly supporting clients with physical limitations impacting their health.
​
After the birth of my second daughter ten years ago I experienced severe post natal anxiety and depression and spent 2 weeks in an inpatient psychiatric unit to support my recovery. I bring my courage, non-judgement and compassion from this experience to every encounter within Workitwell. This experience piqued my interest in mental health and wellbeing, and was the catalyst to my pivot into private practice.
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 am a highly skilled facilitator, am passionate about people and extremely dedicated to bringing the latest research and best practice ideas to your business. I work alongside you to bring knowledge, practical skills and tips that can be easily implemented, lowering your stress levels, enhancing workplace culture and productivity.
I use Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), practical problem solving techniques, coaching and skills training to inform practice.
