My Approach

Qualifications - BA, Cert Ed, Practitioner of EFT, NLP & Hypnotherapy

As a qualified teacher, I have worked in schools, colleges, adult education, a local prison, and youth clubs, with students aged between 7 – 70 who come from a broad section of social and cultural backgrounds, and with a wide range of abilities and interests.

Early on in my career I realised that I was only seeing 'part' of the student in the classroom and as a result became involved in school and community Youth Work.

With my growing awareness that their behaviour and progress in school was affected by other factors and my involvement with students labelled as 'challenging' my continual professional development moved into the areas of Counselling, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, NLP, Hypnotherapy and EFT.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy Transferring the skills we are good at to areas where we aren't so good
NLP
Neuro Linguistic Programming 		The belief that within all of us, we have the ability and skills to change how we react to situations and people without harm to them or ourselves
The belief that the body's energy disrupted by negative emotions can be re-aligned and we feel and are better
Hypnotherapy Using trance to clear limiting beliefs and phobias and providing access to your resources so you can easily achieve goals, solve problems and think positively.

Now I recognise how increasingly important the attitudes and teachings of our family, friends and community can be to us all, adults and children alike, and how this can have both positive and negative influences. Other peoples' values and beliefs can have a huge impact on how we think, feel and behave towards ourselves and others; even if we don't feel in our hearts that they resonate with our true selves. And these influences, for good or bad, have an affect on our past, present and future if we don't examine them closely and throw out the ones that no longer fit who we wish to be.

This interest and concern has led me to where I am now -
working as a Life Coach - your Life Coach.

My personal belief is that every person is an individual, unique and special in their own right - and this is the key to the way in which I work with you. I create a bespoke programme of skills and techniques tailored to meet your specific requirements, drawn from my professional training in EFT, NLP, Counselling, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Anger Management, Learning Support and Behavioural Strategies, Time Management, Teaching and Youth Work.

Clients have discovered that working with my support, their self-esteem and self-belief increases, which in turn provides the underpinning required to make positive changes in their behaviour, social skills, relationships and educational achievements.

Enabling you to access the power to control these influences opens up the doors to freedom and choices - your choices for you.
