“I am a passionate coach, counsellor, speaker and workshop facilitator working with parents, children, teens, young adults, families and educators. I always see a spark in the faces of those I work with during the first session and within a couple of sessions we have a clear idea about what to focus on and the steps required to make the changes. With the support of my coaching and counselling, my clients are able to explore and resolve challenges and difficult emotions that are holding them back and most importantly I help my clients develop a roadmap for the future.”
