Areas of Expertise
Mind Coaching For Women:
Empowerment and Transformation Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Integrative Psychotherapist
I use an ethical and integrated mix of modalities using positive psychology Hypnotherapy, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Therapy. I use an integrated approach to meet individual client needs to maximise outcomes. I predominantly work with women on mind coaching purely on the basis that I resonate more with the female mindset.
If ladies approach me to work on specific issues and or goals together I encourage them to consider how much time, focus, energy, financial investment they can put into the process for them to achieve their best results. My specialism is working with ladies to get to the root of their discomfort/barriers and work together at a time frame that suits them to help achieve long term changes to find their happy and healthy equilibrium in life.
Each session is 70 minutes long, 5 minutes greetings and catch up from the last session, 60 minutes of the session and then 5 minutes to close the session and schedule in the next appointment, if required. It is very easy to overrun in each session, to ensure professionalism on my part, and respect to your time, I will fully endeavour to keep to the timescales.
Physical Treatments:
Acupuncturist / Physical Therapist / Body Coach
I also use an integrated mix of treatments depending on individual needs to help improve physical fitness and wellbeing, no matter where the starting point is. Bespoke treatment sessions are discussed and agreed depending on client needs and desired outcomes.
My specialism with respect to physical treatments is working with individuals who have been experiencing a range of symptoms that are impairing their health but that have been ruled out as requiring specific medical attention. Or possibly long term chronic conditions that medication is helping to a certain point but could be further helped by a range of Eastern Medicine/complementary treatments. As an option I sometimes suggest a course of 5 weekly treatments to 'reboot' health. On each session I cover the 5 pillars of health which are nutrition, posture, breathing, hydration and sleep, all of which are imperative for overall health and longevity. We discuss current status on each area and suggestions where improvements could be made and explanations on the importance of each pillar. Follow up appointments are then to maintain health and make any adjustments along the way.
Alternatively my clients come for treatments on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or maybe an as and when basis, whatever their current needs are. My goal with my clients is to help them find their healthy place, whatever that may be for them, and work together to maintain it, rather than wait for it to keep breaking and try and fix it.
As Socrates said 'Health isn't everything, but without health, everything else becomes nothing.'
Each session is 45 minutes and based specifically on individual needs.

My Approach
The approach I have mindfully developed over many years of practice is to work collaboratively with each individual, listening intently without judgement, not jumping to conclusions or making assumptions about what 'I think' the issue/problem may be, either physically or mentally. I have learnt over 35 years of studying the mind and body and working with thousands of individuals that we are complex and yet simple works of art. Once we slow the chaos down and allow space for the mind and body to let us know what is happening and how it can be helped to work better we can start to make progress to feeling healthier, happier and stronger and live life to our greatest individual potential.
'There is no disconnect between mind and body, they are one and the same, each having distinct roles and functions, just like the organs and muscles do. Add into the mix social factors, biological factors, prior illnesses, injuries, trauma and there is a recipe for potential disharmony. Understanding the individual journey so far can help inform current mind body health status and also plan and work towards goals for the future.
I thoroughly enjoy working with individuals using the vast array of skills, qualifications and experience I have developed over a career in the corporate environment and also managing my own clinical practise to help people become the best versions of themselves that they wish to be.
