Sallyann is passionate about wellness and addiction recovery. She trained as a Continuum Care Facilitator with Aiséiri and facilitated for Aware. Her ideology and approach to guidance practice is rooted in the principles of community development in terms of responding in a way which both empowers individuals and encourages them to take responsibility. This happens through a person-centred approach which at all times upholds dignity and respect.
Sallyann supports her clients to make constant, steady improvements in their lives through the setting of goals which are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. These changes are more than just aspirational, they are tangible. Sallyann sees personal transformation as an ongoing journey.
