After a successful career in Human Resources in the corporate world I decided to retrain as a business coach and therapist.  I now work with a wide variety of people supporting them to use the power of their minds to achieve change. My initial training focused on nutrition, a lifelong interest, I studied and qualified as a nutritional advisor.  However, whilst studying it soon became clear to me that knowing what to eat and why is only a small part of the puzzle.  The mind, behaviours and attitudes to food are what really drives our relationship with food. This sparked an interest and understanding in what drives our behaviour, how the mind operates and how to achieve lasting change.  I still work with nutrition, supporting clients with weight-loss programmes.   I then went on to study hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming (NLP), cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy, mindfulness and meditation and psychotherpeutic counselling which I combine with traditional coaching techniques learnt during my HR career and through formal study with the Institute of Leadership & Management. ​ I use these techniques to help people achieve their potential or to overcome the things in their lives that are holding them back.  Essentially, I will work with you to find the best way to help you do the things you want to do – or stop them of course, and in a way that you can maintain long term.  I find hypnosis and imagery, or visualisation work particularly beneficial to clients and regularly teach clients how to use self-hypnosis and imagery to support their own change and development. I still work as a trainer in corporate environments, delivering workshops in the areas of Mindfulness, Wellbeing, Stress & Anxiety Management and related areas.  I also now work as a teacher at the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy where I can pass on my passion to other aspiring therapists.
