Professional Development:
I obtained my First Degree (Bachelor’s) from the University of South Africa. This degree took five years (1995 to 2000) and I obtained two Majors with distinction in Psychology and Sociology. Both took three years to complete. The other subjects incorporated in this Degree were: French, Communication and Private Law (two years).
I moved to the United Kingdom in 2001 and completed two further years of study with Open University to qualify for British Chartership. This was a Psychology Conversion course in order to have my First Degree from South Africa recognised in the UK.
Since obtaining eligibility for Chartered Status, I have worked in Broadmoor Prison and other secure units around the South of England. This involved dealing with people with mental health disorders as well as assessing IQ (using the WAIS III and WMS) and creating behavioural modification programmes for individuals. I also worked for the National Probation Service for three years rehabilitating offenders. This involved using various professional skills including Cognitive Behavioural therapy, Motivational Interviewing and brief solution focused therapy amongst others. In 2006 I completed a Life Coaching qualification specialising in relationships, debt management and stress management.
I have worked with clients with personality disorders, mental health problems, with the elderly - mainly related to dementia as well as clients with learning disabilities.
I plan to continue my Professional development as the nature of human behaviour continually evolves.
