As an organisational psychologist, originally from Christchurch, New Zealand, I have spent the past 8 years living and working in the UK and Europe. Throughout my journey, I have faced the challenges of living with multiple chronic illnesses. These experiences have profoundly shaped my life and influenced my approach to my work. I deeply understand the complexities that arise from managing chronic illnesses and how they can impact relationships and personal achievements, both in the professional sphere and in life. Moreover, I am acutely aware of how these challenges can affect one's self-perception.
