How I Work

My focus

I have been a counsellor since 2014 however I have been an NLP coach since 2004. This has given me over twenty years of experience. During this time, I have worked with many different people with a variety of issues. I have also taken a variety of different therapeutic trainings. This has given me therapeutic competence and deep knowledge of therapeutic theory. This means that you will get a tailored experience that will result in real shifts and changes in your life.

When people ask me what I do, I say that I help people who are struggling in high pressure work environments to improve their situation by developing their resilience, self-esteem, assertiveness and communication skills.

This means that if you have difficulties at work and you decide to get some support and work with me you can expect the following.

To move from feeling a helpless victim in the work place to a person with genuine agency.

Together we can do this by:

1. Facilitating you to emotionally regulate. This means supporting you to work with and respond to difficult emotional experiences both past and present.
2. Supporting you to develop psychological flexibility. This mean learning to see situations in new ways as well as learning to challenge and change unhelpful thinking.
3. Supporting you to develop communication flexibility. This means learning to communicate in new ways and behave differently.
4. Helping you to identify your own needs and support you to take pro-active steps to getting them met.
5. Helping you to gain clarity over your own boundaries.
6. Helping you to respond effectively to a critical work place environment.
7. This will also mean looking at new ways to talk to your-self.
8. Helping you with interpersonal conflict
9. Learning to respond to failure.

And together we can challenge Perfectionism

This may look like a bit overwhelming but I will work with you to establish a pace that works for you.

When you speak to me you will find me to be a person who is easy to speak to. I am non-judgemental and accepting, this means that you do not have to be worried about opening up to me about any difficulties or concerns that you have.

I have empathy, this means that I can appreciate your point of view and that I value what you have to say. You will feel that you matter and are important to me in our sessions. I am interested in you and what you want to tell me.
