Preventing Psychological Injuries in Organisations
To prevent psychological injuries from happening within your organisation you should consider working with me. Together we can educate and create prevention strategies, action plans and goals to ensure that preventative measures are put in place for your employees.
I've built a strong reputation as a leading pioneer in the field of mental health through my work in enabling the delivery of EMDR Therapy, a leading trauma therapy, in an online environment.
I was recently award 'Maverick of the Year' in the International Stevie Women in Business Awards in Las Vegas, for my approach to mental health prevention.
Organisations I Have Worked With
ACT Department of Health, Centrelink, Commonwealth Bank, Department of Health and Ageing, Department of Defence, EMDR International Association, International Association of Applied Psychology (IAAP), Entrepreneurs Institute, University of Canberra and many, many more.
I have also had the privilege of sharing my knowledge and expertise with many other organisations, at conferences, retreats and special events throughout Australia and in Asia, the USA/Canada and Europe.
For Individuals
My book ‘The Trouble with Trauma’ was awarded an International Book Excellence Award for Psychology in 2022. ‘The Trouble with Trauma’ assists the average person to understand what trauma really is, how it affects our mental and physical health and how to resolve it.
