Provisional Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst (PTSTA) (education)

Life coach ACC

Coach supervisor

Appreciative Inquiry Facilitator

I am based in Cape Town but willing to work in other centres.

I am involved in transformational and development work both with individuals and groups.

My specialisation is as an educational Transactional Analyst. This encompasses learning and teaching in all its guises - whether as individual personal growth, parenting, formal teaching, leading, training, mentoring, or coaching.

I work in the field of education, both in traditional education institutions, and in the wider sense of personal development. I work with educators in schools on the Cape Flats and my vision is to equip both educators and learners with a model of positive communication and healthy interpersonal skills.

I facilitate Care for Carers workshops for community health workers caring for people with HIV and AIDS, as well as running psycho-social support workshops for capacity building and leadership training in organisations.

As a coach, I work with people in times of transition to co-create a balanced, centered and fulfilling life. I supervise coaches, TA trainees and others in various roles of working with other people.

I run regular TA training programs, both for personal and professional development and for those people moving towards certification as Transactional Analysts.

As an Appreciative Inquiry facilitator I run change and development processes in schools, NGO's, interest groups, churches etc

My philosophy

I come from a place of mutual respect for all people, and have a curiosity to learn about others. I believe in each person's inherent ability to think for herself and decide to change. My busy life is underpinned by a contemplative spiritual strand which enables me to be completely present with each person or group.

My interest in quantum physics and spirituality inspires who I am and how I work with people. I believe in possibilities......
