Apex Counselling
CONSULTATION SERVICES
I provide counselling, psychotherapy and supervision services to a wide range of professional people. My goal is to assist clients to further develop capacities for leadership and reflection, and ultimately to discover a stronger sense of personal and professional identity.
​
With over 20 years’ experience at senior levels within organisations, assisting leaders and teams to transform their ways of working, I bring a depth of experience and a unique combination of skills and qualifications to my practice (in business and various therapeutic modes). I have worked across a broad range of industries including corporate, university, government and not-for-profit sectors.
I draw on a vast body of knowledge and skills to inform my work. I am a certified mindfulness based psychotherapist (Hakomi) which complements my qualifications in human resource management (Masters), organisational behaviour (degree), executive coaching, group facilitation and advanced supervision.
I have continued to renew my professional practice with the completion of a three-year psychoanalytic psychotherapy training, working with disorders of the self and core personality styles.​
​
In my practice I assist clients to engage in mindful self-observation, so they can discover more about who they are and how they unconsciously affect their environment.
​I work with a wide range of workplace challenges and experiences, such as:
​
-
managing people
-
team dynamics
-
work/life balance
-
managing conflict
-
feeling stuck in work role or profession
-
workplace bullying
​
I also work with people on how to manage the personal impacts of these situations on their well-being, which can include :
​​
-
stress
-
personal resilience
-
low self-confidence
-
lack of fulfilment at work
-
managing strong emotions
-
relationship difficulties
