I am a qualified Counsellor and Life Coach .

I have spent almost 10 years in the corporate world as a Business Development Manager. My main areas of expertise were in the training of Consultants and Brokers and supporting them in their business development.

 

A prominent component of my position related to conflict resolution. I negotiated with Product Providers, Human Resource Managers, Financial Directors and Unions regarding prospective business opportunities.

I feel comfortable in front of large audiences and regularly delivered presentations to employer groups and Company decision-makers.

 

I also have more than a decade of experience in education. I have completed a Bachelor of Arts degree ( Psychology) . I have also completed my Higher Education Diploma, where I studied Psychopedagogy and focused on themes such as educational behaviour and the psychological development of the child (concept of self, self-image, self-worth, motivation and intelligence). I have taught  Psychology to Senior students for over a decade years.

 

During the past 12 years. I have done extensive personal research on the human brain, especially with regard to the development of the teenage brain. I had the opportunity to interact with many young minds and observe their behaviour within this context. Aspects such as multiple intelligences, brain hemisphere dominance, learning styles, neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, and mindfulness are some of the topics of interest.

 

Additionally, aspects such as domestic violence on the psychological development of children also formed part of my personal study area.​​​
