How can you best occupy your time across all environments?

Why choose to work with me?
I am very interested in the contexts within which we exist - the systems which support us well and those which need strengthening - be it our families, our work, our friendship circles, our institutions, our spirituality and belief systems, aspirations and meaning we derive from our daily occupations.
​
I believe in understanding the roles you play, the routines you use, and the dynamics which make up your life.
​
I will use a mix of education, guidance, family therapy principles, counselling, arts and somatic therapies, developmental approaches and activities all underpinned by occupational science to witness you and your support systems as an ever-evolving organism.
