MY SERVICES
How can I help you? Are you unclear about where you stand in life – in relationships, in your work, or in life generally? I can support you as you gain understanding, and work with you to deal with situations that might feel overwhelming. I can help you find focus, clarity, incentive, and passion.
I am a Sydney-based life-direction coach with degrees in psychology from Swinburne University and Monash University.
Over the years I have worked with a large number of people to:
​

make life transitions and break through
-
build self-esteem
-
heal shame
-
manage stress
-

I work one-to-one, either in-person or on Zoom. I also facilitate workshops with small groups of people.

Shame
Shame seems to touch most people's lives; either because they experience it themselves or because other's shame affects them. Shame affects relationships in general and is destructive in nature. There is no doubt in my mind that if there was less shame in the world then it would be a better place.
​
In my psychotherapy practice I became aware of how many of my clients’ issues related to shame, whether it was their relationships, mental health conditions (such as depression), or whether they were just struggling with common, everyday issues. Over the years I have worked with individuals and also facilitated group workshops where, using the most up-to-date information from psychologists, psychiatrists, and neuropsychologists. we have, together, explored shame, its life consequences, and how to release it from your life.
The difference between guilt and shame
The snowballing impact of shame
Releasing shame
I facilitate group workshops regarding understanding and releasing shame.
​
I also work one-on-one, using several processes, including Internal Family Systems
ABOUT
I have had a lifelong passion for sociology, psychology, and philosophy. Because of that I have been on my own personal development journey for more than 40 years, and I have gained a substantial amount of knowledge (and, some might say, wisdom). I also have personal entrepreneurial and corporate working experience. I am a multi-award-winning film producer and director of more than 50 documentaries, feature films and television series.
​
I am a problem-solver, and I love working with people to find solutions to difficult situations. As well as listening to your needs and requirements, I also use a variety of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Sub-Personality Identification (where we often find a part of you that is actually sabotaging your efforts).
I am the author of the book The god that you are
My focus is on life and living it to its ultimate possibilities.
