I have been on my own personal development journey for the past 39 years. I have been teaching meditation and mindfulness for the last 30 years. In my mid 20's and early 30's I overcame chronic depression and PTSD, which motivated me to continue to learn about healing, psychology and self-awareness. With this growing knowledge and experience, I began helping others in my daily life by conducting meditation and self-awareness groups. These experiences lead me to university where I completed degrees in psychology, spiritual psychology and post graduate degree in psychology, while continuing to explore self-awareness philosophy such as mindfulness – now an important feature of modern counselling. With this knowledge and experience, I developed the 5-Step Process, a mindfulness based therapeutic process for psychological healing and personal growth.  For the last 23 years, I have had my own private counselling / psychotherapy practice, using the 5-Step Process. My scope of counselling is broad, covering most issues. I also specialise in spiritual/Transpersonal counselling/therapy/coaching.
