"As an experienced family therapist and educator, I was more than happy to co-facilitate (with Deb) - working with Deb was a joy as she is organised, knowledgeable, realistic, sensitive and kind.  Feedback confirmed that this group was well-timed, much needed and extremely therapeutic.  I look forward to working with Deb again."

“Deb is such an experienced presenter it takes all the pressure off hosting an event. Just introduce her and sit back and enjoy.”

Julia Hartman, Founder/Consulting Accountant, Ban Tacs, Mackay QLD

Working with Deb provided an opportunity to reflect on both my personal and professional development as well as my place in the broader organisation. I appreciated her enquiring approach which allowed me to identify strategies and skills to further support my working relationships with my colleagues and team mates.

I had the pleasure of attending the ‘It’s All About Me’ mini-retreat on Saturday 25th March and came away feeling lighter, feeling heard and feeling at peace. Thank you to Deb Rae and Shea Ward for a beautifully presented morning, the content was relatable, and I felt comfortable straight away. It was such a beautiful setting and such a pleasure to listen, learn and grow alongside a wonderful group of ladies. Thank you for the opportunity.

Helen Costello, Celebrate Me Mini-Retreat

"I would like to thank you again for agreeing to build and present a Motivational Interviewing training session for my team. The training was excellent.  You provided a solid overview of Motivational Interviewing and how to put it in practice not only in our work environment but our personal lives as well. The presentation was both interesting and engaging with a good balance of group talk and interaction.  It was exactly what I was looking for."

Rebecca Adamson, Manager, Ozcare Mens Hostel, Mackay, Qld

“I was referred to Deb by a colleague as I  was seeking honest feedback and professional coaching. I worked with Deb for five sessions over a six month period. During this time, she offered high level coaching that supported me in being offered a state managerial role. Her genuine nature facilitated honest insights that was the foundation to a reflective practice framework. I am grateful for the recommendation and will engage her services again in the future. From my perspective, I would highly recommend her services.”  

Vittoria Penner, professional coaching

“Throughout my journey with Deb, I have found new strengths and abilities I never knew I possessed.  Deb has provided me with the confidence to pursue my dreams and has taught me about my own self-worth. Her professionalism and compassion is beyond comparison. I can’t recommend Deb highly enough.”

Venetia Aprile, personal and work goals

Having the opportunity to receive regular professional coaching from Deb Rae for the past few years has been invaluable. She has been a great sounding board for bouncing ideas off and I would often leave our sessions feeling energised and more focused.

Recently, I was lucky enough to attend a presentation by Deb Rae at the Shamrock Hotel Function Room with the subject ‘Celebrating Every Carer in Every Role’ for Wellways Carers Gateway as part of Celebrating Carers Week.

Her empathetic & sympathetic manner helped to impart such a confidence & surety that she understands & appreciates your own journey through the maze of a Carers world.

Taking care of ourselves both physically & mentally is something that was impressed on us all during Deb’s presentation. This is something we all tend to forget about as we busy ourselves with the matters on hand but unless we do this, we cannot give our best ‘US’ to anyone else.

Although the topics covered were specific to Carers on the day, I feel that they would be of great value & assistance to help with any stresses, depression, anxiety, traumas or pressures etc we have in our daily lives & that it is our own ‘perceptions’ of a particular situation that hold us back from looking at things in more positive manner.

So, thank you again Deb, for sharing your tips & tricks with all the Carers & my ‘take away’ from this wonderful presentation was that we are not alone, we need to connect with others, we need to look at things in a more positive way & most of all, be kind to yourself for your physical, mental & emotional wellbeing.

Pam Smith, Celebrating Every Carer Workshop
