About me
I have been working in the field of health and improving personal performance for four years now, giving clients the tools they need to assist recovery. I qualified with a Diploma (and subsequently Advanced Diploma in 2008) in NLP and Life Coaching. For the last two years I have supervised and tutored trainees on the Diploma course and have been an examiner at the Training Institute where I qualified.
Most recently I have been studying with the co-founder of NLP Dr. Richard Bandler and have qualified as a Specialist Practitioner in Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning. Additionally I completed the training with Dr. Bandler in Altered States and Basic Brain Exploration. I believe that it's really important to keep current and up-to-date with developments in NLP and in other areas. I have attended lectures this year also, with Robert Dilts (who works a lot with beliefs) and with Tim and Kris Halbom, (working with cutting-edge change techniques).
Prior to this I was a Lecturer at the University of Bristol, graduating from the same University in 1990 with a First Clas Honours degree. I am a trained Personal Adviser in Careers, qualified in Advice and Guidance. Other trainings I have taken include; family Mediation, EFT, and PSYCH-K (Advanced facilitator).
I have a passion for helping people to make the changes they want in their lives and to disseminating the great new technologies, like NLP, so that as many people as possible can benefit. I don't restrict myself to NLP and have incorporated ideas from a great many sources, from Rob Williams (PSYCH-K) to Byron Katie's "The Work".
I am very approachable and like to make sure that my trainings are not only easy to understand, but fun and memorable too. I'm always happy to chat to existing and prospective clients on the telephone; to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you soon and to helping you make the changes you want in your life.
