I’m a Well-being and Resilience Consultant with 8+ years of experience across human services, mental health, trauma, suicide prevention, family support and complex frontline environments.
My approach is grounded in Positive Psychology, strengths-based practice and practical, evidence-informed wellbeing strategies that people can actually use in everyday life and at work. I’m passionate about helping individuals and teams build resilience, manage stress, navigate challenges and create healthier ways of working — before they reach crisis point.
I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Science and have undertaken international study in Positive Psychology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, alongside training in DBT skills, suicide prevention and trauma-informed practice.
Through my work, including founding Becoming Your Vibe, I aim to make conversations around mental health and wellbeing more accessible, relatable and practical. I bring a genuine, person-centred approach, with a particular interest in burnout prevention, resilience, psychological safety and supporting people to thrive without compromising their wellbeing.
