If you are a CEO, Business Owner, Business Leader or Senior Manager experiencing; stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, dysfunctional relationship with food, struggling with decision making and cognitive function or simply feeling a little lost in life or your career, then I can help.
I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist, Therapeutic Coach and seasoned Personal Development Coach, with over a decade experience at senior level management in the corporate world. I'm also the founder of 8Wise™, author of 8 Wise Ways to a Healthier Happier Mind and host of the Live The 8 Wise Way podcast.
I work with busy senior level career professionals, across all sectors and industries, experiencing poor mental wellbeing that is impacting on their health, both physically and mentally. I empower clients to take control and create positive change in their lives, whether it be in their careers, relationships, health, business, self-perception, or their own healing processes.
8Wise™ is my critically acclaimed approach for healing from the past, managing the present and creating a healthier future. It draws on; Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Compassion therapy, Hypnotherapy, Positive Psychology, Therapeutic Life Coaching. I designed it as both a prevention and a recovery tool so that the 1 in 4 experiencing mental health issues can use it but so can the 3 in 4 who are at risk of developing them can to, because I believe that prevention is better than cure where possible.
