Vanessa is a registered psychologist with more than 20 years in the field. With experience working across the clinical, corporate, correctional, forensic and mental health industries, Vanessa has a broad understanding of the complex factors that influence behaviour at many levels and how this impacts on both an individual and business.
She founded iFlexis to improve the well-being and resilience of individuals and employees to create more effective people, leaders and organisational culture. Her approach helps emerging and early leaders overcome the psychological and behavioural barriers that often get in the way of becoming a successful leader. In turn, leaders then embed these skills into the organisation and build a stronger culture for greater business performance.
In her counselling work, Vanessa’s highest priority is building strong collaborative relationships with clients and referrers and providing evidence based, ethical practice to ensure the best possible outcomesfor all clients. She is committed to supporting clients to overcome the mental barriers that hold them back, and make sustainable changes in all areas of their lives for a better quality of life.
Vanessa’s approach in her corporate work helps emerging and early leaders overcome the psychological and behavioural barriers that often get in the way of becoming a successful leader. Leaders learn to embed the skills and knowledge they learn into the organisation to build a stronger culture for greater business performance.
While many consultants focus on behaviour change to drive performance and culture, Vanessa uses a pioneering methodology for the corporate world that maximises the potential of people and builds stronger cultures. This approach focuses on the building flexibility in leaders and cultures for greater resilience and growth potential, identifying individual values and aligning with corporate values to drive individual and business strategy and growth. Vanessa draws from both her professional and personal experience to help people and organisations overcome their barriers to success and she is passionate about helping leaders and organisations achieve positive outcomes.
