“I help people feel better”

I am a health activist, pain and fatigue specialist, and social entrepreneur. For over a decade, I've helped thousands of people manage and improve their physical, mental, and social health. I'm uniquely qualified to do so. I recovered from complex PTSD, ME/CFS, and Fibromyalgia — having been told by doctors that I’d never get well.

It was during my recovery that I developed the First Aid for Feelings method, including the ABC technique and the First Aid Kit for Feelings. Once recovered I completed a Master’s degree and a clinical diploma, which included Clinical Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Coaching. Working with patients, I realised that the First Aid for Feelings method was helpful to others. After working with this method in consultations since 2010, I taught the first workshop in 2013.

Galvanised by patients’ successes, I set up a social enterprise in 2015 to help others, called The Helpful Clinic. The clinic’s social mission is to improve people’s health and well-being by increasing health and emotional literacy. We do this through consultations, workshops, meditations on the Insight Timer platform, and publications like the soon-to-be-published First Aid for Feelings Manual.
