After surviving life-threatening complications following double surgery, I knew that I was the only person who could create the type of change I needed. My priority became \u2013 and remains today - improving my quality of life. This was the spark that inspired my aspirations to make counselling and coaching my future profession.<\/p>\n<p>I have been able to resolve many life and health challenges that I was told were either chronic or irreversible. Consequently, I\u2019ve found that being accountable and taking responsibility for my mental, physical, and emotional well-being has allowed me to create a rewarding life and a future that is filled with possibilities. I am grateful for many things I have learnt along the way. <\/p>\n<p>After investigating, researching and experimenting with many approaches to positive change, I\u2019ve selected what I consider to be the most effective elements of each and apply them in accordance with their potential to support and bring about change. <\/p>\n<p>On the basis that not every approach works for everyone, I continue to study to increase my knowledge, enabling me to provide my clients with well-rounded and thoroughly tested solutions, so that they are able to realise their desired results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-16-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-16-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-16-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div class=\"greenpanel secondcols panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-16-1-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>Accreditations and Certifications:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Counsellor Certification.<\/li>\n<li>Professional Counsellor Accreditation specialising in Stress, Relationships and Loss.<\/li>\n<li>Science of Loss Therapist Certification.<\/li>\n<li>Attachment and Relationships Certification.<\/li>\n<li>Problem Solving and Resilience Coaching Certification.<\/li>\n<li>Certified Mindset Coach, Levels I and II. <\/li>\n<li>Reiki Level I (Sh\u014dden) and Level II (Okuden) Practitioner Certification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-16-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-16-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-16-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4>My Objectives<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-16-2-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div id=\"pl-w677e559b2de5a\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w677e559b2de5a-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-w677e559b2de5a-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w677e559b2de5a-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<ol>\n<li>To support you in achieving your desired outcome(s) and teach you how you can support yourself independently in the future.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-w677e559b2de5a-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"quotepanel panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-w677e559b2de5a-0-0-1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>\u2018Creating lasting change can take time.
