Barebones Career & Management Consulting

Founded on principles of 'needs psychology', the framework and counselling method I have successfully used to support thousands of clients over 30 years, can be applied to any context for any situation for individuals, interpersonal relationship challenges, group dynamics and even parenting.

Professional Background

Where it began
I began my career in schools as a Physical Education teacher for 25 years, then transitioned into a school counselling and careers advisor role for another eight. The training I engaged with at this stage was via the William Glasser Institute in the USA, and it was transformational. Based on 'human needs' psychology, it became the basis of all my work. Suddenly, behaviours I saw over decades in the school context from both students and teachers made complete sense. The Glasser frameworks allow us all to unravel what is behind all choices that translate into behaviour and actions.

Developing Mastery
Following teaching, I immersed myself in the highest levels of training available within the Glasser pathway. I sought mastery around empowering my clients to use Glasser thinking, frameworks and tools to work through their own challenges. Today Glasser methods are recognised extensively worldwide.

Professional Counselling
For the last 30 years, I have worked as a counsellor and coach, utilising the Glasser principles, and my own life experiences to serve clients with a powerful depth of perspective. I have guided hundreds of individual clients on all aspects of challenges from seeking clarity of direction to interpersonal or work relationship issues and even parenting challenges. 

Trainer & Assessor
Whilst I've assisted many corporate clients with workplace training, a vast body of my professional work has been delivering courses for hundreds of educators on applying the 'needs psychology' and a method of counselling or interaction, into their school context. As a high-level Glasser Faculty member I also train trainers, assessing and certifying other counsellors and practitioners in the training methods. 

Counselling

The consultation sessions are delivered as individual sessions.
