ABOUT ME
Professional Membership Dapaanz
Resilience: The ability to recover quicker or quickly
Thrive: Progress toward or realise a goal despite or because of circumstances.
I am an eclectic Counsellor/ resilience Coach, I have been fortunate to have worked with some exceptionally talented people over the years.
I created THRIVE to provide a new fresh approach to wellbeing and resilience. To provide a place where people can begin with some simple but highly effective strategies that they could trust every day of their lives.
Maybe you have been asking yourself what is a resilience coach? do I need one in my life right now? Well, chances are you would benefit practicing some simple practical tools to improve your life.
Sometimes we need to say, “what used to work for me isn’t working anymore”.
In light of recent events COVID19 especially I became aware that many of my clients needed to begin to think and interact differently with the world that they were functioning in, whether you’re in a corporate role or perhaps just starting out in your career maybe you could be a student studying or a mother at home juggling everything including the kitchen sink! But seriously I began to provide easy steps to success and wellbeing.
Many of my clients emphasised that they were benefitting within two weeks or some stated earlier, people stated they had noticed huge gains and were feeling optimistic and more in control. My various roles include but are not limited to: Grief work in hospice settings, Drug Treatment units in New Zealand Prison system, Rehabilitation (residential/community) High Schools and my involvement with Critical response teams.
In a previous life I crewed for the New Zealand Fire Service, and contracted to WORLD OF WEARABLE ARTS as a designer/prop maker. My wealth of knowledge and experience can be transferred to many other working relationships.
I can provide you with a safe confidential introductory consultation, you choose where you want to go from there.
Seek and THRIVE is a service with a difference.
