I have worked with people and teams at all levels., up to CEO, in various fields of endeavour, including business, sport, education and Charity Fundraising.

Frequently asked questions
Definitions differ, but one of my favourites is : A voluntary state of openness to suggestion. Whilst relaxation per se is not necessary, it is often experienced in the therapeutic setting.
Is hypnosis therapy? No, but it can be a powerful ingredient in the therapeutic / coaching process, when used in conjunction with evidence based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Positive Psychology.
Positive Psychology is a relatively new division of psychology that came into existence around 25 years ago. It has in a sense though, been around for considerably longer. An early definition was '..the scientific study of what makes life worth living' (Peterson, 2008)
Other definitions include: 'the scientific approach to wellbeing and educating people, organisations and communities on how to thrive (Gable & Haidt, 2005; Sheldon & King, 2001) and ' 'It encourages people to connect with their inner strengths and cultivate happiness, flow, meaning, love, gratitude, accomplishment, growth and better relationships (Seligman, 2011)
In addition, ' the qualitative and quantitative study of what enables people to survive and flourish individually and collectively in the totality of life circumstances (Wong 2010)
Many sessions are booked and paid for in advance, with each typically lasting 60-75 minutes. We might meet either weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
If you think that you might want to work with me, send me a message with preferably three dates and timesthat work for you. We can then meet for your initial free and no obligation consultation, which lasts for about 30 minutes. This gives you an opportunity to explain what it is that you would like to achieve and in what time frame.
One of the most important ingredients of successful hypnotherapy in terms of outcome is the connection between client and coach. This initial meeting enables us to see if we are a good match. If you are in any doubt, then I will urge you to speak to other practitioners, to make sure you find the right person for you.
If you decide that you would like to work with me, we can agree on a plan that works for you in terms of frequency of meeting and number of sessions. Sessions are payable in advance.
We can discuss what sort of package might be right for you at your initial free consultation.

Alternatively, you might want to spend a whole day with me at a venue in Blackheath, that overlooks the heath. The day includes refreshments and lunch. We would spend at least an hour outside, walking. This choice will not be for everyone. It may suit you if you would a whole day away from your usual routine. This day can be used to make a breakthrough or learn specific skills for an upcoming event.
