Profile

“My passion is helping people get their lives back on track having found themselves stuck and frustrated by life’s many, and often unexpected, challenges.

I really love what I do and seeing the difference it makes to the lives of those I help is amazing. Often those I see are feeling so overwhelmed they don’t know where to start and some know what they want, but not how to make it happen. It doesn’t have to stay like this!

I would love to help you, just as I have helped hundreds of others over the years. Call me today, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, I look forward to hearing from you soon!

My Life Coaching and Stress Management Consultancy Services are one to one sessions and for:

• Anyone who is feeling worried and stressed or currently off sick with any stress related issues.

• Anyone who is under pressure at work or home and feels it is all “getting too much”.

• Anyone needing help and support to make changes in their life or career.

• All those who want to improve their personal development or enhance their performance skills.

• Anyone who wants to either plan new, or review their existing goals for work, home or just life!

• All those in management roles, at any level, who need support from a neutral perspective.

For the last ten years, I have run my own private practice in Esher, Surrey, working as a psychotherapist and stress management consultant. My whole style is positive, solution focused and empowering with the aim of helping you to achieve your desired outcomes in the shortest time possible. I use a cognitive behavioural approach, which is the preferred method of the medical profession for assisting with depression, anxiety, stress and its related issues.

Over the years, using my expertise as well as my healthcare background, I have successfully helped people reduce their stress which has then allowed them to improve their confidence and make positive changes in all aspects of their lives at work, home, in their relationships with others, and most importantly, enhance their health and well-being. See a selection of my testimonials.

Further qualifications include my OCR Diploma in Stress Management and Certificate in Coaching, which is when I established Solutions 4 Stress as a consultancy service to combine my individual practice with going into companies and organisations from both the public and private sectors. Here I provide training in the form of seminars & workshops to build resilience and reduce stress, enhance leadership and communication skills, increase performance & improve the work-life balance. Further information can be found on my corporate page where I am also a Director of AMC2.

Prior to this, I had qualified as a Psychotherapist from The National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy, followed by achieving a Diploma in Advanced Hypnotherapy. This really motivated me to use all my skills in a different way by helping others to reduce their stress, create that work-life balance and improve their own health and wellbeing.

Additional charity work has seen me take up a place on the Board of Trustees as Director of the International Stress Management Association^UK and I currently act as co-ordinator of their annual National Stress Awareness Day programme, giving radio interviews and also appearing on GMTV as a stress expert for their national phone-in during the 2008 campaign. I regularly provide comments for reporters from both national and local papers as well as giving radio interviews on stress related topics that are current in the news.

Something I regularly enjoy is when I am asked to speak on subjects, including stress, resilience and wellbeing, confidence and motivational skills to local groups and organisations. Please contact me if you would like to know more.

Where it all began, it seems a long time ago now but my passion for working with people started when I trained as a nurse, then working in the NHS for over 20 years. My career began in the acute care provision working as a RGN in a coronary care unit, next as a RGM in midwifery (delivering over 2,000 babies!) and then as a Health Visitor in the community based in a GP practice.
