Self-discovery is a life long quest. However, many are unaware of what it really takes to answer the question who am I?

In the self-discovery workbook and audio, I have given some handy tools to be able to ask questions you didn't know how to formulate so that you can answer this timeless question

Many Christians shy away from establishing boundaries under the assumption that it may conflict with their faith.  However, the truth is that every flourishing relationship, be it with family, friends, or colleagues, thrives on the bedrock of well-defined boundaries. Boundaries are not about building walls but about creating a framework that sets the tone for respectful and meaningful interactions.

If you desire relationships characterised by longevity, mutual understanding, and genuine connection, this audio series serves as a valuable resource. Discover the art of leaving interactions feeling truly seen, heard, and valued.

Throughout the three-part series, we explore instances in the Bible where boundaries are demonstrated and extract lessons that remain relevant in today’s context.

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment as you embrace the liberating truth that setting boundaries is not only compatible with Christian values but also essential for building lasting and meaningful connections. Let “Boundaries and Christian Women” be your companion in cultivating relationships that honour both your faith and your individuality.

Cultural competency is the "ability to understand and interact with people from different cultures".

That said, we will never get to where we understand everything about another race or culture; however, we can learn enough to work appropriately with individuals in their context.

Counsellors, Therapists, and mental health professionals can develop cultural awareness that helps them provide powerful therapy that creates lasting change in the lives of black and brown people. 

That's where this journal can help. 

I have used my experience in Social Work education, my knowledge of my culture and my experience as a Counsellor to develop questions designed to help you think deeply and powerfully about values, power, diversity and countertransference issues in the therapy room.

You can't undo the racism and inequalities that black/brown people face, but you can provide a space where they can process those hurts and heal. 
An area free from implicit biases and judgements.

It may be happening in your home right now, the same as in millions of homes across the UK and perhaps the world. You went to bed with one child and woke up with another, or maybe it just seems that way.  As they eased into their teen years, everything changed.

In Help! My Son’s A Teenager I share what I learned and am still learning about parenting my teen son. 
I also share discoveries I’ve made about myself along the way and their impact on my parenting.

Join the journey as together we discover how to use a secure attachment to navigate the teen years.

Mental health and spiritual health are related: when one is compromised, the other also suffers. Many people who are carrying mental burdens are unaware of the connection between their refusal to seek help and the state of their spiritual health. In fact, many fail to see the profound impact that their pain has on the way they interact with family, the church community, and God.

While this book is not an apologetics text on why you should go to counseling and the benefits, we hope to show the connection between having a space to process and talk through your problems and the growth in your spiritual health.

 If your aim is to grow closer to Christ, you will find that therapy helps a great deal towards this end.

 Throughout the book, you will hear from men and women who have been trained specifically because they feel a calling to help people this way. You will also read first-hand accounts of people who attend counseling as they describe the highs, the lows, and the benefits.

A couple of years ago, The Business Insider published an article titled 17 facts everybody should know before they get married, which went on to list some essential things to consider before tying the know.  however, relationships are complicated, and everyone is different.  someone else's 17 facts might not be relevant to you and your circumstances.  However, there are some fundamental things that everyone should consider before marriage.

In this three-part audio, I have included some fundamental things that should be thought out in order to build a secure connection with your partner and have a successful and fulfilling marriage.

Sometimes the thing that we need most we find the hardest to do. 

Stillness can be a challenge.

Life is busy for most of us, and it seems we are always rushing from one activity to another. We are trying to be the best parent, friend and partner.

In that place of busy, it sometimes hard to hear the voice of God, Stillness helps us to understand and to act and connect.

As you take this 90 days journey, I hope it will result in you developing the habit of stillness and hearing the voice of God in a way that will impact your life.
