It's time to create the life you actually want to live

From confusion to clarity

Life has the potential to be amazing. Full of fun, enjoyment, happiness and all the things you love and appreciate most in the world. So why do so many people have an experience that is filled with worry, stress and anxiety?

We can find ourselves at a social event wondering, "Why aren't I enjoying this? Why am I not relaxed and loving life? Why do I worry about little things and what do I have to do to be happy?"

Most people start to explore what they need to change in order to feel better, and question after question runs through our mind...

Perhaps I need a new job? Why doesn't my relationship make me feel how I want to feel? How can I handle the kids better and have them understand me? How do I make more money so I don't have to worry anymore? It's normal to worry about stuff like that isn't it?

Perhaps. But the question isn't really whether it's 'normal' or not. The question is... would you like to have a different experience of living your life?

A way that will allow you feel truly alive as you explore the opportunities available to you with fresh eyes. A way that allows you to work towards changes in your life from a place of strength, confidence and clarity of mind.

And most importantly, a way that allows you to FEEL HAPPY NOW, even if all the pieces of your life haven't yet slotted into place yet.

Emerging from tough times

As far as I can tell, life is not designed to be a smooth, easy or consistent experience. There are beautiful moments and there are really, really tough ones that challenge us to the core of our being.

There will be times where we will get scared and we'll be somehow flung far outside our area of comfort and we might not even really know why. It can feel hard to breathe like we are suffocating. or being devoured by some mystical force.

And it’s in these very moments we have to make a choice.

Do we fall back, and crawl back to where we feel safe? Or do we push on, and tap into the strength that lies within us?

The reason people often choose to retreat is because they don't feel like the choice is truly theirs to make.

Work with me and I'll show how to refuse to go backwards, by surrendering only to your inner power you may not even know you have. How to support and care for yourself as you start to see yourself from a whole new level of understanding, and grow like a strong and beautiful plant, from the inside outwards and upwards.

And you know what… as you grow, your comfort zone will expand to find you, not where you were, but wherever you choose to go. In the words of Winston Churchill, “If you are going through Hell, keep going” and I promise it will take you to better times.

Transformative Coaching, Hypnotherapy and Time Line TherapyTM

When we feel unhappy, stressed, angry or anxious it can feel utterly unbearable, and all we really want is to get out of that feeling. We want to escape whatever unpleasantness we are facing because it feels like a dark cloud that hangs over the day and takes the colour and the fun out of our lives.

So of course it makes complete sense to put our focus on resolving this bad feeling, and yet the truth is; there is so much more available to you than just being without pain.

What is really on offer is a fresh start at life with a whole new perspective on it. Brand new eyes and a beautiful feeling of being all that you can be as you fall in love with life itself.

What is on offer is a profoundly peaceful mind and a connection to a deeper sense of self; knowing who you are and the potential that lies within you.

I know that sometimes this feels impossible! It feels like such a long way from where we currently are, and yet the truth is it only takes an insight, a realisation or a fresh thought to transition you to a completely new experience of being you.

And I want you to know that I see this happen EVERY DAY so it's not only possible...

It's completely available to you right now!

Let's throw out the rule book!

I can guarantee you will be living your life by a set of rules without even realising it. Rules like;

- Who I am supposed to be.

- What I need to do (and what I must not do)

- What I am capable of.

- What I can cope with.

- How I 'should' respond to life's challenges.

Even as children, we begin making up rules, especially when we face circumstances that are not of our choosing, and most of the time we don't even know we have done it!

Let's say you found a situation very stressful in the past and found it hard to cope, you may unconsciously be avoiding that situation playing out again, even though you are stronger now. It's like a part of your mind didn't get the memo!

So it is these rules that determine how we live our life, the choices we make and the limitations we impose on ourselves.

Through gentle exploration together we gain awareness of these rules and bring them into consciousness, seeing them as they are. And it is by taking responsibility and deciding whether we continue to live by those rules or not, that we are free to create new possibilities for the future.

This may come in the form of changing things in your life, such as a new job, relationship or improved health. But it can also be a change in the way you experience the things you already have in your life, as you learn to cherish and thrive in the life you have.

Finding a deep confidence from within

My clients often laugh at me for my perspective on confidence, because they have spent most of their lives looking for something in the wrong place and wondering why it hasn't worked! Through coaching, we will work to get you to the person you really want to be, the real you that is buried underneath layers of insecure or harmful thinking.

You would be amazed if you knew how many apparently confident people are actually very insecure deep down, and have just become very skilled at putting on a show. I'll show you how to find your inner authentic confidence, so you feel able to speak up and express yourself with a genuine (instead of false) confidence as you learn to care for and be kind to yourself.

Conversational Hypnosis for Emotional Healing

Many people relate Hypnosis either to the humorous stage variety or to giving away control so the Hypnotist can work with them at a sub-conscious level and it can be - but not the way I do it.

With my therapeutic style of hypnosis I will help you to relax into a lightly hypnotic state (the way you feel just before you fall asleep at night) where you are still completely conscious, aware and in control.

Together, we use this state to help you reach the deeper source of your emotions where, through supportive, exploratory conversation we can establish and achieve what you need for your healing journey.

This is most certainly not for all clients but is a very powerful tool for when there is a lot emotion, especially in relation to past events that feel unresolved.

Coaching or Hypnotherapy?

There are many modalities for the mind and emotions, so establishing the best course of action for you is important.

My style of coaching puts a greater focus on understanding the way the mind works universally. In many ways we are completely unique, but in other ways we are all exactly the same, and it is through this understanding that we gain clarity through confusion.

People try to change their life but are looking through the same lens which makes change hard and effortful.

But our lives change easily and naturally through a shift in consciousness that gives us a different viewpoint and expands our awareness far beyond it's current boundaries, and this is what transformative coaching does.

With some clients I find hypnotherapy a little redundant now, as this understanding goes far deeper, yet it can be a powerful tool to cut out the noise and interference and help people see where I am pointing to more easily. Especially when it comes to emotional healing.

For this reason, it can be useful to combine hypnosis into our coaching sessions, where we both see fit. Please know that all hypnosis is actually self-hypnosis and nothing can be done 'to you' therefore the power and control is always with the client.

The Coaching Room at Upper Barns

My private coaching room is nestled away in our barn in Wethersfield, a small village in North Essex. You can attend your sessions here in person, or alternatively we can talk online by Zoom.

Many people choose to vary between online and face to face - the decision is yours and is often determined by your location or schedule.

I usually hold retreats, half and full day sessions in the 'Great Hall' to give us more space.
