I bring lived experience alongside deep professional training. Fifteen years as a technology consultant and project leader, then more than a decade coaching individuals and leadership teams across five continents.
What I do now grew out of what I had to learn the hard way. I learned how to regulate my nervous system and how to face the parts of myself I'd spent years managing around. I also learned how to build a life that actually fits. I bring all of that into the room, and the work goes deep with room for humour in it too.
My story
A path I walked
before I trained in it.
For years the performance held. A twenty-year marriage with two children, and a career leading projects for global firms. Underneath, I was burning out. Anxious and over-functioning, performing confidence while living a life that wasn't truly mine.
When my relationship ended, I found myself navigating the Australian Family Court system alone. I read false allegations and represented myself in federal court with no legal training, and the façade broke completely. I lived in fight-or-flight for three years, disconnected from myself in a way people could sense.
What got me through was doing the actual work. Internal Family Systems helped me understand the parts of myself that had been running the show without my permission. Somatic Experiencing gave my nervous system somewhere to land. A trusted mentor and steady men's group work did the rest.
I relocated to Melbourne and started again. I trained professionally in every modality that supported my own recovery. I remain in the work, in therapy and ongoing supervision, because I know from the inside that growth doesn't finish.

A few things I believe in
Compassion
For the parts that got you here, and the parts that are trying to get you somewhere else.
Curiosity
Staying truly interested in what's underneath the surface, without rushing to the solution.
Honesty
Saying what I notice, even when it's uncomfortable. The work only lands if it's real.
Growth
I treat growth as an ongoing orientation. I remain in my own work because I believe it continues.
Playfulness
Deep work doesn't have to be heavy. Lightness and humour are part of how I show up.
Presence
Bringing my full attention to what's actually happening in the room, rather than what I expect to find.
