Performance and Personal Coach
Tony has over 30 years experience, working in Professional and Technical companies.
But here's the thing... Becoming a skilled professional takes time, focus, and a lot of study. What is missing is what we don't learn about other people.

Working with Tony has been a great experience.
I first started talking to Tony back in December of last year because I had an issue with cigarettes.
I have had a couple of goes to give them up and I felt pretty spectacularly and I wasn’t really sure where to go.
I made of mine was using his services to get off alcohol. He suggested that I should talk to him and see how I went.
The moment I picked up the phone and started talking to him I felt, this is got a good chance of working.
Now, that’s not to say that the road hasn’t been easy.
We have an earth many issues that I didn’t realise existed because I used to just bury them and just smoke when I was frustrated not talk about stuff when I was frustrated and will have a go to the packet of cigarettes or lash out at people.
He’s worked out what my personality is how I pick why I do what I do and how I can realise that as a person and try and be more aware of other people and also to try and understand myself and how I fit into people’s lives
I really enjoy speaking to him each week because it gives us a time to talk about what’s been happening how I’ve been feeling about things and tap allow me to think things through verbally in a way that I can understand it but also in a way that he can explain it and he’s very good adapting his explanations to different mindsets and different personalities that is what makes Tonny so good at his job.

Counselling
Tony has helped me tremendously.
He is a great listener, has a lot of experience and was very flexible in his approach with me.
He helped me discover my strengths and weaknesses but also gave me some concrete tools to help better manage my feelings and control my emotions.
I'd recommend Tony to anyone willing to improve their personal and professional relationships.

Hi. My name is Chass Moller-Nielsen.
People need to work out what relationship they have with alcohol. Are you controlling alcohol.
Or is alcohol controlling you.
Whatever you portray to your friends, your work colleagues, society etc. It could be either answer. But deep down, you yourself know what the true answer is. What category you fall into.
After denying it for a long time, I knew what category I fell into. enough was enough. I decided for me I needed alcohol out of my life.
Alcohol free has helped me from the very first step of my journey. Sure I had made the decision. But I was afraid and angry at the same time. What was going to happen now? I was missing the notion of having a drink. The feeling of having a drink.
Love being alcohol free explained to me how the brain works and help me through that situation. To take my fear and anger away. Without their help I really don’t know how I could’ve made it through that. The best part is, in the end, it’s not rocket science either.
You know we place so much emphasis on other things. Don’t gamble too much. Don’t smoke. But alcohol just takes a back seat because it is so ingrained into our culture, our society, that we just consider it okay and sweep the bad part of it under the carpet.
You think about it. We drink if we get a new job. We drink if we get a promotion in that job. We drink if one of our mates gets a job. We drink at sports. We drink even just to be social with friends. our own birthday party. At someone else’s birthday party. At Christmas time. And New Year’s time. We drink when someone is married. We drink when someone is born. And we drink when someone is dead. now if that isn’t nailing alcohol into a coffin of subtlety that is involved in everything, then I don’t know what it is. It’s gone so far that it’s considered weird if you don’t drink. Should that really be the case?
So, before you brush this off or make a bad comment. Just think about it. You clicked on it for a reason.

Tony has coached me for the last few months. I have appreciated his knowledge and his ability to listen and to help me refocus on what is important and help me work out the steps that need to be taken to achieve my goal.
He has the ability to listen and let me come to my own decisions offering guidance and direction when needed. He always is positive and shares his experience with me and helps me to re-evaluate situations and move forward.

What do you love most about your job?
I have spent 30 years being very good at "fixing things", because I thought that was a good way to improve things... What I have subsequently learnt is that it is better to help people, because that helps to improve everything!
What inspired you to start your own business?
My path to self-development and self discovery has been easily the most enlightening and enjoyable experience of my life, and I want to share this learning experience with as many people as possible.
Why should our clients choose you?
We all have habits, internal programs and blockages that hold us back from becoming the best version of ourselves. The problem is that we rarely know what these blockages are, nor how to overcome them. I offer a program to help identify blockages, raise awareness, and overcome the things that hold us back. And we also get to learn a little bit more about ourselves and how we relate in the world! If you recognise a habit or a repetitive behaviour that you want to change, then I can show you how to do that without using will power, with no pain, no meetings, and no need to tell anyone about it.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
My program is based on 1-on-1 coaching with some online content. Coaching generally consists of a session every week, which can be face to face, over the phone, or with zoom - whichever you prefer!
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Zoom is a wonderful tool, allowing a great level of coaching support, with almost the complete experience as having a face to face meeting over a coffee.

If you want to achieve greater success in life and perform to a higher level - you are in the right place. Tony is a high performance coach and mentor who can help you to overcome stress, anxiety, frustration and dissatisfaction. All of this is possible when you get control over drinking, and when you learn to understand the factors that make drinking so attractive.
If you feel that you can't do this alone, then the most important part is to ask for help . There is no need to feel miserable about this. Let me show you how to take a break from drinking AND feel better!

Dealing with Stress and Anxiety
Don't let stress and anxiety dominate your day! While small levels of stress are normal and natural, out of control stress can lead to health problems, and unhappiness. If you feel that stress has become overwhelming in your life, then maybe it is time to find some relief.
Tony is a qualified coach and can help you to deal with stress and anxiety, and to help you regain control over your life. Tony has first hand experience with the debilitating effects of dealing with stress. As someone who has learnt to deal with stress and anxiety, Tony can help you to recognise when good stress turns to distress.
Often the root causes of stress and anxiety can be treated, and Tony can help you to work through the issues that exacerbate the problems. Tony loves working with a positive mindset, mindfulness, and a personal success routine to help you get back on track.
We can learn to overcome problems from the past, we can learn to have a positive outlook on the future, and best of all, we can learn to enjoy what we have today!
Anger Management
Are you concerned about outbursts of emotion and anger? Do you experience seemingly uncontrollable and overwhelming reactions to people and events? Often this is an emotional reaction to things that trigger us.
But why do we allow these triggers to dominate our life? Why do we allow bursts of anger to affect our family, our work, and our daily life? There is no need to hurt others nor hurt ourselves... Instead, Tony can show you how to deal with these emotions, and to better understand the cause of these uncontrolled outbursts. In fact, when we understand the cause of these issues, we can change the way we react to triggers, and we can totally change the way we deal with anger and emotional outbursts.
Life Coaching
We only get one shot at this life, and it pays to make the most of it! Don't allow the outside world dictate how you should lead your life - live your life on your own terms, and live the best life possible.
We can learn to make the best of every opportunity by understanding how we interact with the world and the people around us. And the best place to start, is to understand ourselves better. Tony can help you to understand your own personality profile, which can be an enlightening process. There is no need the change the person you are, but Tony can show you how to enhance your natural talents and to improve areas that might be lacking. Tony can help you to be the best version of yourself, without the stress of trying to be someone that you cannot. It is your time to shine!
Building Confidence and Esteem
We could all do with a little more confidence and self-esteem. No matter whether you want to improve your communication skills, improve your relationships, apply for a new job or a promotion, speak in public, or just be more confident!
We can learn to be more confident and have more self-esteem with the people around us. But we need to understand ourselves better. Tony will lead you through your personality profile, to show you how to enhance your natural talents and to improve where needed. Tony can help you to grow in confidence, and develop an internal sense of self-esteem, which will be visible to everyone you interact with. This can greatly improve your relationships with other people, improve your work life, and help you to grow as a person!
