Practice

I work at the interface between psychology and working life to assist clients to clarify their own purpose and direction.  My practice aims to deepen understandings of self, relationships and the social systems that shape our lives.  

Individuals:

Change is an expansive process that requires presence; the strengthening of personal resources and a curious mind.  I journey alongside my clients to access their intentions, engage challenges and create sustainable outcomes.  

Groups:

Self awareness and sensitivity towards others are integral to a meaningful life. The telling, listening and reflecting on personal-work stories is an effective vehicle for leadership development, team building and change interventions.  Awareness of how wider systems shape personal experience strengthens and restores respect.

Supervision:

I offer practice supervision for coaches, counsellors and psychologists.  Where there is interest, learning journals are included in this work. 

The Practice Diaries:

I run a structured process of personal and professional development called The Practice Diaries. It is shaped by narrative practices; mindfulness and journalling.

Writing:

I write fiction and non-fiction.  My biography of Steve Biko is part of an educational series People’s Leaders of the Twentieth Century.  It has been translated into isiZulu and isiXhosa, and adapted for literacy programmes.  My poetry is published in Writing the Self: An anthology of new writing from Women’s Writing Workshops.
