About Me
- Chris Gillett
- I have always been struck by the importance and power of getting heard: it is such a deep human need. In my work with families, work teams and community groups, I witness over and over the relief and hope that emerge when a person is fully and deeply heard. Trained as an Occupational Therapist, I have worked across the health and disability sectors, gathering skills in interpersonal dynamics, counselling and facilitation . My approach is always to facilitate people hearing their own wisdom and finding their own solutions. As a group facilitator I use various strategies to ensure everyone’s contributions are valued, enriching outcomes for all. I am excited by the power and broad application of Nonviolent Communication (NVC): it is such a simple yet profound approach to speaking, listening and self empathy. It is helpful in dissolving conflicts, easing difficult conversations, settling distress, resolving regrets and assisting decision-making. I present trainings in NVC around the WA, often in partnership with my colleague Marg Pontin.
