​Background

Picture
Hello and welcome, I hope you find this information about my background helpful. 

I was trained in Australia and the UK, I am an experienced Psychological Counsellor, (MBACP) Meditation Teacher, and registered Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher with University of Massachusetts Medical School. I am a member of the Swiss MBSR Association.

My first experience of meditation was in 1991, and since 1997 I have been practicing meditation daily to ground my own inner resources for well-being. The clear awareness and emotional balance that it encourages have been the cornerstone to my own life and work. Over the past twenty years and throughout my work and studies, I have also been practicing meditation and attending Tibetan Buddhist teachings.

Consequently, my training and experience span both Eastern and Western perspectives on psychology and I draw upon these influences to help guide the therapeutic process and create a more powerful awareness of the benefits of mindfulness.
 
I began my career in counselling in Australia at the Petrea King Quest for Life Centre for people with terminal illnesses. This is where I was formally introduced to incorporating meditation in processing life difficulties and uncertainties.

For three years, I was based in London where she worked at Guy’s Hospital, the Awareness Centre and for the children’s helpline Get Connected. In 2008 I came to Geneva to join my husband. 

In Geneva, Switzerland, I have a private practice and regularly conduct public mindfulness courses and private courses for corporate, non-profit organizations and schools.

In particular, I am deeply passionate about helping others connect more authentically to themselves, others and their life as a whole.
