About The Founder

I am an organisational psychologist and founder of The Offload Room™, a structured intervention designed to help high-functioning people release accumulated mental and emotional load without therapy or diagnosis.

I hold a PhD in Organisational Psychology and bring more than 25 years of professional experience across psychology, leadership, and systems thinking. For more than two decades, I have worked with individuals and leadership teams.

Alongside my independent work, I serve as Managing Director of The Arbinger Institute South Africa, where I lead large-scale leadership and culture engagements across corporate environments. My experience spans executive development, leadership mindset shifts, behavioural change, and applied learning design.

My academic and professional grounding includes deep engagement with organisational and leadership dysfunction and mental health, as well as the limits of purely cognitive change models. Over time, this led me to question approaches that rely primarily on insight, discussion, or self-monitoring when the underlying system remains saturated.

Why The Offload Room™ Exists

The Offload Room™ emerged from that gap. It was designed for people operating under sustained pressure—people who remain functional, capable, and responsible, yet increasingly overloaded by what never entirely switches off. It is not a program to understand oneself better, but a place where load is given somewhere to go. The work is deliberately non-clinical and non-diagnostic. It is built for people who are still performing, still leading, still carrying—yet recognise that endurance without release eventually narrows judgment, presence, and capacity.

My approach is practical and structured. I design conditions where action interrupts overload and restores internal bandwidth. People leave lighter, without analysis, explanation, or exposure.
