Why I do this work.

I grew up between cultures and built my career across borders. That experience sits at the very heart of everything I do.​​

​

My path began in London working with frontline child protection services as a social worker, later stepping into independent practice as a forensic assessor. London remains my second home, despite the temperamental weather! Navigating international systems, legal frameworks, and unique cultural contexts gave me something no qualification alone could: a deep lived understanding and appreciation of how human behaviour and systems shape individuals, families, workplaces and communities. 

 

I had the privilege of being the first South African social worker to serve as the resident mental health expert for national television on the Expresso Morning Show. Internationally, I am honoured to be the first South African mental health professional to hold Contributing Expert status on Insight Timer, where I continue to host webinars for mental health professionals globally.​​​

 

Over the past 20 years, my work has spanned judicial consulting across the UK and South Africa, serving as a board member for Life Matters Foundation, scaling a thriving private practice as a therapist and working within acclaimed academic institutions and corporations.

 

My career has now led me to focus on organisational wellness consulting, speaking, and providing a separate service to support professionals and executives in their personal digital brand development.  ​

​When I am not consulting, you will find me enjoying nature with my energetic springer spaniel, or losing an ongoing battle with writer's block.
