 In 2007 my life was turned upside down when I was diagnosed with leukaemia which changed my life path. It led me to becoming an author in 2015 because I wanted to help people with strengths-based techniques I had used, so in 2015 I released my first book, Stronger, You Can Overcome and Bounce Back from Adversity. I then became a speaker sharing my message and story to empower and inspired others and have spoken on many platforms.  Becoming a counsellor was the next natural progression.

 I am a double cancer survivor and I have overcome a lot of adversity in my life, I also have had a lot of success. I have lived anxiety and panic attacks 21 years ago. So I know firsthand what it feels like. The techniques you will learn, if you continue to practice them, you can manage and change your thought patterns and habits and lifestyle and continue to use the techniques in your life you to make the changes you want to see in your life.

Our circumstances do not define us, you have the power and a choice to re-create a new story.  Have hope that no matter how difficult things may seem, they don't last, if you hold onto that ray of hope, you will see light at the end of the tunnel again and you can turn your life around. 

IT'S OK TO NOT BE OK I'm passionate about reducing the stigma and raising awareness for mental health. It takes courage to reach out for help. Let me help support you in a safe environment.  Suicide, cancer, substance abuse, anxiety and violence have become an epidemic and now COVID-19.  We Can get through and overcome crisis and not just survive but thrive. If I can do it so, can you.
