"I am integrative therapist, which means I combine different techniques depending on your individual needs and wishes. I have extensive advanced training and over ten years of experience in this field. During the therapeutic process I can empower you with toolkits, strategies, information and various methods to help you to achieve what you want to whilst working with me. As a clinical practitioner, I can help to overcome mental health and wellbeing issues. As a life coach, I am able to support your journey towards goals or aspirations.One of the powerful parts of my expertise is the medical neuroscience of mental health and wellbeing. Understanding how the mind works enables us to change our mindset and our perspective by rewiring the brain and altering our perception of life from negative to positive, from pessimistic to optimistic and from failure to success. Our company (my partner and I), is Alchemy Life Therapy. As, Alchemy Life Therapeutic Coaches, our ethos combines neuroscientific findings, medical knowledge, holistic wisdoms with tried and tested therapeutic techniques. I am comfortable working with a purely clinical approach, if that is your preference, or, from a more energy-based perspective if that sits better with your needs. My work has taken me into many diverse and stimulating arenas: Corporate (onsite therapy, work-life balance, workplace stress, entrepreneurial/business coaching, NHS/police PTSD and coping strategies), Media and Film (performance anxiety, goal-oriented focus, management and production success, tutoring for creatives), Education (pupils, teachers, students workshops, mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, exam/coursework stress, social anxiety), Sport (confidence, getting into the winning zone, overcoming fear-based belief systems, positive mindset), Transformational (manifestation, conscious visualisation, energy work, receiving abundance, Law of Attraction).To give you more of a context of who I am, I have an eclectic and exciting career background. I began working as a professional dancer, singer, actress, choreographer, tutor, teacher and director. I enjoyed a plethora of multimedia performance projects across Europe with various independent TV, Film and Theatre companies.I transferred my skills and was a full-time classroom Primary School Teacher for ten years, specialising in learning difficulties and special needs. A brief period as a makeup artist, beautician and holistic therapist followed, working in 5-star spas and on photography shoots. I naturally gravitated towards energy healing work and became a master practitioner in Reflexology, Reiki and other holistic techniques.I now harness and utilise all these diverse life experiences and skills in my work as a therapist, speaker, writer and life coach.According to your needs and wishes, I offer an integrative programme of: Clinical PsychotherapyCounsellingAdvanced Medical HypnotherapySFBT (Solution Focused Brief Therapy)CBC (Cognitive Behavioural Counselling)NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)Solution Focused MindfulnessThe latest research-based and clinically-proven neuroscienceQUALIFICATIONSAdvanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy Level 5 (ADH), Specialist Modules in: Psychotherapy, Neuroscience, Working with Children, Self-hypnosis for Childbirth, Psychoneuroimmunology, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for Fertility, Neurolinguistic Programming, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Strategies, Neuroscience and Obesity, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training College 2018 (January 2016 – October 2018Diploma in Medical Hypnotherapy (DMH), Specialist Modules in: Palliative Care and Bereavement, Helping People Undergoing Chemotherapy, Emetophobia, Introduction to EEG & Hypnotherapy, Self-Hypnosis for Pain, Needle Phobia, Essence of SFH & Hospital Hypnotherapy, Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training College (January 2017 – October, 2017)DHP (NCH) & DSFH, Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training College (January 2015 – October, 2015)PGC Professional Practice: Additional Learning Needs (Masters Module) UWIC (2009)PGCE Teacher Training, UWIC (September 2002 – June 2003)1st Class BA (Hons) in Performing Arts - Contemporary Dance, Music, Drama, Arts Administration(September 1984 – June 1987)Experience: Over 10 years experience of private Alchemy Life Therapeutic Coach."
