I am a New Zealand registered Psychologist. I completed my studies in the Netherlands, where I received my PhD in 1991 on the topic of Nonverbal Communication.
For more than 25 years  I worked as a Psychologist supporting clients with "challenging behaviours" in all age groups in New Zealand and Europe.  I worked  for many years in New Zealand schools under the Behaviour Service of the New Zealand Ministry of Education and as behaviour specialist at a Specialist School.

 I feel blessed by the rich learning I was able to get out of meeting so many complex, unique and talented individuals from all walks of life and in all different life circumstances.

You will find a good introduction to my approach in "Tips for Teachers".  This book is expected to appear on Amazon in 2026.
