Biography
In 2016, I founded Inside Out Recovery—a trauma-informed intervention and training service with a practical edge recognised for its work and integrity. I now deliver specialised support, counselling, and learning programs across hoarding disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational wellbeing.
