Frequently Asked Questions

  • What will happen in the first session?
    The pace and depth of any session is largely conducted by yourself, I will never push you towards nor distract you from whatever direction our work together takes: it is your journey and you will remain in control throughout. We begin by finding out where you feel that you are at this time and where you want to be. We will start identifying what has been preventing you from getting what you need in order to be happier and more fulfilled. I offer a straight-forward client-coach exchange, tapping into your energy and helping let go of wounds and shifting old patterns of self-sabotage. If you feel that you have not benefited in any way after our first one-hour session, I will gladly refund you. Read more about my approach. Read testimonials from previous clients. Contact me for a 15 minute free phone or Skype consultation.
  • How many sessions will I need?
    This will depend upon how far you wish to explore your own personal development. Some clients have worked with me over a long period of time because they are dealing with years of trauma, abuse or addiction; other clients need me for a shorter period as they navigate through a difficult situation such as a divorce, redundancy or loss of a loved one. I have clients who see me regularly for a few months in order to gain the clarity they seek and then come back again in a year or so when they feel ready to move either in another direction or to understand more about themselves and the path in life that they are currently on. It is up to you - my style is not to prescribe a fixed number of sessions to "fix" you. Our work together will be a "get stronger, get wiser" approach and the time that takes will be led by you.

  • How much does one session cost?
    It’s £70 per one-hour session for individuals and this includes an initial free 15 minute phone or Skype consultation. If you feel that if you have not benefited in any way from our first hour together - then I will gladly refund you. I also offer a limited number of discounted sessions to people through charities in serious need of help. Please contact me for availability. Read testimonials from previous clients. Contact me for a 15 minute free phone or Skype consultation.
  • How long do sessions last?
    Either one or two hours, but again this can be led by you and what you need. Many clients have preferred my approach to some traditional counselling, because I will not bring you into very negative and upset state and suddenly stop the discussion and leave you facing life in a fragile frame of mind. The aim of my sessions is to bring out your inner strengths and wisdom and make you feel more balanced and in control. Why not contact me for a 15 minute free phone or Skype consultation and see how that feels.
  • I do not live locally, can you still help me?"
    Of course, I have clients all over the world and we have successful sessions on Skype, Whatsapp or by phone. Why not contact me for a 15 minute free phone or Skype consultation and see how that feels.
  • What about anonymity and confidentiality?
    I understand how important this is for many reasons for you and my professional reputation. I have been working in this field for over 30 years and worked with professionals such as soldiers, police, medics and firefighters. It is essential that they can trust that what they reveal is kept in the strictest confidence. Some clients don't even want their loved ones to know they are seeking help and fear they may lose their jobs if employers discover they are struggling. Read testimonials from previous clients. Contact me for a 15 minute free phone or Skype consultation.
  • I’ve tried counselling before so why will this be any different?
    Though telling your story is a necessary part of healing, my clients have often come to me because traditional "counselling" or "talk therapy" kept recycling negative feelings and experiences without a positive resolution. I offer a straight-forward client-coach exchange, tapping into your energy and helping identify and shift old patterns of self-sabotage and reduce physical symptoms of trauma and stress. Together we will look at rewiring and rewriting outdated thoughts, develop new actions and reactions, and draw upon your existing strengths. Read more about my approach.

  • I’ve experienced serious trauma in my life that is hard to talk about. How can you help?
    We will always go at your pace and you are in control of what you feel comfortable discussing. I can promise you that I make no judgements and over the last 30 years working with people from all kinds of backgrounds and professions - I have heard it all and will not be shocked or disturbed by anything you have done or experienced. However much you wish to reveal, we can still work together on rewiring and rewriting outdated thoughts, develop new actions and reactions, and draw upon your existing strengths. You DO have the inner strength and spiritual ability to overcome your trauma. Our work together uncovers that inner resolve and we can start to release the physical, mental and emotional blocks that weigh you down. If you are still unsure, do feel free to contact me for a free 15 minute phone or Skype consultation.
  • Won't going over past wounds make me feel even worse?
    You will be amazed by the feeling of relief you will experience by being free to say what you really feel without any fear of judgement or hurting, burdening or disappointing someone you care about. The freedom to speak your truth in a safe and confidential environment and receive objective guidance will be the start of your journey towards the change you seek. My approach is not to recycle negative feelings and experiences without a positive resolution but rewire and rewrite outdated thoughts, develop new actions and reactions, and draw upon your existing strengths.

  • Do you work with just individuals?
    I regularly work with couples, families and groups. Groups talks: I can work with groups on a bespoke basis or you can join one of my regular courses. I am happy to discuss your needs with you and I can advise what I think would be most beneficial for the group. Please do contact me for more information.
  • Could you do a talk to a group on a specific subject?
    Yes, I provide regular talks in different locations. Please feel free to contact me if you have a group that would like me to talk to them.
