Welcome to my site. I am pleased to offer three areas of support for well being and mental health

Mental Health First Aid training because it is often difficult to distinguish normal development from possible mental health concerns for young people.

Grandparent Support workshop for confidence and skills to support young people within the complex family, education, career and social networks

Counselling and short-term psychotherapy for immediate concerns such as anxiety, depression, weight, trauma, habits, relationships, and life changes. 

Mental Health First Aid training

Much like a lifeguard watching the water, it’s about noticing early signs and stepping in when something doesn’t feel quite right. Sometimes support may not be needed, but at other times, that timely check-in can make a lasting difference.

The training gives you the skills and confidence to recognise and offer early, appropriate support, if necessary. It also provides peace of mind, knowing you’ve done what you can, when it matters most.

See the excellent video on the Mental Health First Aid page for more information.

Grandparent support for young people, focusses on how to resolve the frequent question for grandparents: “how can I effectively and peacefully contribute to the development of my grandchild’s “sense of self”? The half day program provides insight and skills for grandparents to support their grandchildren within the family network dynamics, friendship groups, social development, education, and other influences.

The practice also offers focused short-term counselling and psychotherapy for adults and young people seeking a clearer, more resilient sense of self. See the Counselling page for details.
