"Out of your heart come the issues of life"
In the same way that salt seasons, preserves, heals and cleanses, so too does your soul. It is your well spring of life and therefore impacts on your environment. Together we can work on many issues, for example, depression and anxiety, anger, low self esteem, relationship issues, and grief. The more your heart heals, the happier and healthier those around you will be. Your healing creates an environment of health and well being for your friends and family

Supervision is an area which is increasingly recognised and valued in response to a growing awareness of work stress and the need for support to maintain a mental and emotional wellbeing. Supervision is beneficial in a number of contexts including counselling, law enforcement, community organisations, social work, education, the healthcare sector, to name a few. As pressure increases in the work force having good supervision is imperative for maintaining ethical and professional practice, and good mental and emotional health. When we are thriving, those around us also thrive. If you are needing support in this area, let's talk about your needs and how best to meet them to enable you to maintain your passion in the work place.

Trauma is a group of symptoms which occur after a traumatic event which overwhelms our ability to cope with life and causes us to re-experience those experiences.
These might come in the form of; distressing, unwanted memories, vivid nightmares and/or flashbacks. This can also include feeling very upset or having intense physical reactions such as heart palpitations or being unable to breathe when reminded of the traumatic event. Avoiding reminders of the traumatic event, including activities, places, people, thoughts or feelings that bring back memories of the event is also a symptom of trauma. Negative thoughts and feelings such as fear, anger, guilt, or feeling flat or numb a lot of the time. A person might blame themselves or others for what happened during or after the traumatic event, feel cut-off from friends and family, or lose interest in day-to-day activities.
Feeling wound-up - this might mean having trouble sleeping or concentrating, feeling angry or irritable, taking risks, being easily startled, and/or being constantly on the lookout for danger. It is not unusual for people with PTSD to experience other mental health problems as well, like depression or anxiety. Some people may develop a habit of using alcohol or drugs as a way of coping.
