What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a totally natural state of
altered consciousness. In this state the conscious mind is quiet and the subconscious mind can take over.
What is it Like being hypnotised?
It can be compared to daydreaming or maybe when you are in the car on a familiar journey and you zone out, however if someone pulls out suddenly your subconscious mind which is always protecting you in the back ground - takes over.
How does it work?
By listening to relaxing language, you are guided to a state where your brain waves slow down from beta to alpha or theta. These are associated with relaxation and creativity. It is in this state where the more analytical conscious mind is quiet that the subconscious which is more receptive to the positive suggestions to reprogram our thoughts removing ones that do not serve us with ones that do.
Will I lose control?
Unlike stage hypnosis that brings many other things into play, you are in total control, just like the scenario above when someone pulls out in front of you in the car. You can come out of this state at anytime you choose. You will actually be hyper aware to what is going on and will remember all that is said during the session.
What is it?
EFT or tapping or Emotional Freedom Technique it give it its full name is a relatively new therapy that comes under the banner of energy psychology; combining. I like to say it is acupuncture without the needles !
How does it work:?
Various points on the face, hands and body are lightly tapped whilst focusing on the issue at hand.
It is based on the principal that the cause of every negative emotion is an imbalance in the bodies energy systems. So if the energy systems are rebalanced the associated issue will go.
Does it hurt?
Only a very light touch is needed. the touches to the body are on the collarbone and under the arm so no clothing needs to be altered.
What can it be used for?
I have successfully used it EFT for fears, phobias, addictive cravings, headaches, sleeping issues, weight loss, anxiety, pain management, men's issues, sexual abuse, improving sports performance and what I love the most dealing with confidence and public speaking issues.
What is NLP?
NLP, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is a personal development and communication model that explores the connection between how we think (neuro), how we communicate (linguistic), and our patterns of behaviour and emotion (programming).
How does it work?
It assumes that our thoughts, language and behaviours are all connected. Therefore if we change one - we change all.
So by examining how we process the experience internally (through our senses) and meaning that we determine from that and the patterns that we follow.

What is it
Coaching is a goal focused supportive and collaborative practice to help individuals or groups unlock their potential, overcome challenges to achieve personal and/or professional outcomes.
What it is not
It is not therapy which typically looks at resolving past issues. Coaching is future focused even if inspired by past events.
It is not mentoring which typically is done by someone who has travelled that journey before and imparting their wisdom. As your coach I do not need to have walked the path you wish to, however will be there to help you plan and support you as far along the journey as you need or wish.
It is not consulting. I am not there to diagnose what is wrong and most definitely not to do the work in sorting any issues out for you.
It is not training. There is no telling you what to do, how to do etc instead I help you find the right path for you and your desired outcomes.
How does it work
We will start with an initial consultation to make sure we are happy working with each other, I will help you clarify the issue, we decide the length of the coaching contract. (typically 6 or 12 week blocks). Length of each session (40 or 60 minutes), your desired outcome and responsibilities and expectations on either side. This will form the basis of our Agreement.
