Dr Phyllis Moore

Clinical Psychologist

Phyllis says, “I love my work! It’s an absolute privilege to be working with people – of all ages, who are building resilience and making important breakthroughs for their own wellbeing and for the good of those around them. It’s rewarding to see people achieving better relationships and improved life, family, or work engagement. There is so much joy in seeing people make life work for them.  That’s the philosophy behind “Lifeworks”
