With a Master of Education cum laude from the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal and over a decade of experience in academia, I am offering my services as a private thesis advisor. My journey began as an Independent Contracted Tutor in the Department of Adult Basic Education and Youth Development, where I honed my skills in coaching, training, and leadership. I then spent seven years as an eTutor for FET Subject Didactics: Life Orientation, enabling teachers to effectively teach Life Orientation as a school subject.

Currently, I serve as an eTutor for Care and Support for Personal and Social Wellbeing, where I deepen students' theoretical understanding by interrogating, appreciating, and contextualizing theoretical frameworks and policy documents. I also equip graduates with basic guidance and counselling skills they need to render care and support to learners in need within their ethical scope of practice as Life Skills teachers.

My expertise lies in life skills theories, school policies, human rights and ethics for care and support in diverse settings, and basic counselling for care and support by life skills teachers. I have skills and knowledge of the Maritime sector, Retail sector and others as well as soft skills training in corporate settings. I am passionate about supporting and enabling students to learn effectively, and I am committed to providing personalised, one-on-one advising sessions tailored to your unique needs and research goals. If you're looking for a thesis advisor who's dedicated to your academic success, feel free to reach out. Let's explore the frontiers of knowledge together!

LIFE COACHING IN TIMES OF CHANGE AND GRIEF CAREGIVER

Supporting you to reach your purpose and fulfill your potential through life change, retirement, challenging or traumatic times.

DO YOU NEED HELP TO FIND YOUR LIFE PURPOSE IN TIMES OF CHANGE OR CHALLENGE?
Do you want to live a life filled with meaning?

“…this striving to find a meaning in one’s life is the primary motivational force in man.” Viktor Frankl.

LET ME HELP YOU THROUGH THESE CHALLENGING TIMES.
My focus is to bring my life experience in finding my own WHY and purpose to help you to find yours.

I have developed a programme to help you through based on sound theory and personal experience. This potentially life-changing process will take you step by step towards a more fulfilled and purposeful life. Part of this process is to learn mindfulness skills to be present in all that life presents to you.

I now also offer grief and bereavement companion caregiving.

I offer grief and bereavement outreach as a companion worker/caregiver. I offer this as a result of receiving requests for assistance with grief experiences. John Welshons, in his book entitled Awakening from Grief, states:

“So there is no way to apply systems, rules or emotional road maps. Our
job is to be a presence, rather than a savior. A companion, rather than a
leader. A friend, rather than a teacher.” Show less

In a review of research into the benefits of mindfulness, the American Psychological Association found that many studies show that practicing mindfulness reduces stress. (Davis, D. M., Hayes, J., A. What are the benefits of mindfulness? Monitor on Psychology, July/August 2012). Studies show evidence that mindfulness increases positive emotions and decreases negative emotions and anxiety. Farb et al., found that mindfulness shifts a persons ability to use emotion regulation strategies, enabling them to experience emotion selectively. Farb NAS, Anderson AK, Mayberg H, et al. Minding one's emotions: Mindfulness training alters the neural expression of sadness. Emotion. 2010;10(1):25–33.

Besides these benefits there are many others, such as: boosting working memory, ability to focus attention, becoming less emotionally reactive, increased relationship satisfaction, increased immune functioning, improved sense of well-being to list a few.

Compassion is a motivator for us to work tirelessly to alleviate suffering for all beings. It highlights the necessity to treat everyone with justice, equality and respect.

The Charter calls upon: "...all men and women to restore compassion to the centre of morality and religion ~ to return to the ancient principle that any interpretation of scripture that breeds violence, hatred or disdain is illegitimate ~ to ensure that youth are given accurate and respectful information about other traditions, religions and cultures ~ to encourage a positive appreciation of cultural and religious diversity ~ to cultivate an informed empathy with the suffering of all human beings—even those regarded as enemies."
