Retreats and Training
I have developed and facilitated retreats based on the principles of mindfulness and mindful self-compassion. Mindfulness and mindful self-compassion are at the core of my practices and techniques, both personally and professionally. Learning to ‘live the now’ is a simple and powerful principle that has changed so many lives, including my own. My retreats are intimate, connected and so fulfilling for me personally. My own experience is backed up by scientific research: supportive group work can go above and beyond individual therapy to help people heal and grow.
I really love working with groups. I have done so for many years in many different settings. I developed and was the lead facilitator of a 10-week Schema Therapy Program at the Melbourne Clinic as well as co-facilitated inpatient schema therapy groups for complex trauma at the Victoria Clinic. Over the years I ran many other programs based on variety of treatment modalities such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT).
I offer a range of workshops to improve workplace culture focusing on well-being and peak performance.
For example:
-
- stress management
- reduction in procrastination
- improving communication skills
- cultivating motivation
- self-care skills
