Individual and Group Counselling
"We are a cohort that together, fly better with two wings instead of one."
I work together with you to organically discover your story, process its impacts on you and find better strategies to change dysfunctional patterns and transcend the pain.
CREDENTIALS
I hold a doctorate in Social Constructionism which is a theory of knowledge in sociology and communication theory that examines the development of jointly-constructed understandings of the world that form the basis for shared assumptions about reality, about Self and Self Identity and how to optimize relationships at all levels of society. I am consequently a Relational Researcher!
My M.A. in Human Systems Development, has led to an expertise in understanding group behaviour, whole systems thinking, chaos theory, team development, using self as instrument of change, and more.
I started my own company, OTI Leadership Consulting, helping Organizations, their Teams and Individuals to create new participatory systems and structures, training hundreds of people in relational leadership, team work, and facilitating all types of discussions from planning to problem solving. I also worked with Psychology firms coaching people to advance their careers and optimize their performance.
I am certified in administering a highly effective and fully validated Emotional Intelligence tool that helps people understand themselves and the adequacy of their coping strategies under stress, from EQ in Action:

I am also certified in administering personality tests such as MBTI (which I love and use often), Conflict Management Styles, Firo-B and others.

Individual and Small Group Coaching
In the past 10 years I have turned to researching "Inherited Trauma" as I call it, which is a combination of individual, generational and collective trauma. This has given me a unique insight into how trauma becomes frozen in our brain and body and how to release the suffering. Often inherited trauma is frozen (as per the fight-flight-or freeze response) and when in freeze, it is hard to get at.
Our inherited and life stories are often both conscious and unconscious.
I use a variety of techniques to actually get at the trauma and release the accompanying burdens and dysfunctional coping strategies. I know that there is no 'one size that fits all" type of cures when it comes to this complex and universal issue and so I do not provide any prescriptive 1-2-3 step solutions. It is your story and it is your process. Together we will unpack your layers of trauma and unpack the patterns that don't serve you. We will find new ways to show up in the world!
Also and Importantly, I help you to tap into the incredible resilience that you have but may not acknowledge or may not be using to your optimum, especially when you need it most.
