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.

In my book TIPS FOR TEACHERS (2024) I have outlined my approach, using many real life examples.
