Personal Development Coaching
This is an area which interests most of us. Often when completing an important piece of professional change work with me, clients realise there are other aspects of their inner world that could benefit from some attention, and we go on to do some personal developmental work together. Or it may be that you are aware of some block that holds you back in your work or personal life, and feel ready to shift that block once and for all.
We will work at depth, using models from psychology and psychotherapy in the coaching work as these provide the most effective, safe and sustainable ways to develop insight and enable transformational changes. This doesn't mean it becomes therapy, only that we are using some useful tools from another change discipline.
A friendly note on Personal Change: If you're aware of a problem, but are only interested in fixing the symptoms without uncovering the causes, I'm probably not your ideal coach. For personal change to be sustained, a psychological depth of understanding is essential and it's not sufficient to just decide to change your behaviour.

Trauma Treatment
A more specialist area of personal development I offer is an effective and non invasive treatment for trauma (also called PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). It's helpful when someone has experienced a recent upsetting event such as a car accident or bullying at work. It is also effective for treating developmental trauma, when someone has experienced neglect or abuse in their early life which later affects their confidence, health and relationships. The symptoms of trauma are often confusing and frightening for the person experiencing them, and may appear bizarre and out of character to their colleagues and friends.
Trauma can happen to anyone, in response to any event where the body feels at threat. The purpose of the treatment is to stabilise and provide clients with somatic resources in order to then process the trauma safely. Trauma is held in the body, so the treatment does not require the client having to speak in detail about the event, which can cause re-traumatisation.
For more information on how the treatment works please visit the Trauma Treatment page.
If you think this may be the case for you, or someone you know, feel free to contact me for a confidential conversation.
