What do you love most about your job?
What do I not love? I strongly believe that knowing how to manage our emotions and thoughts is the key to enjoying our lives and being our best selves. It's amazing what changes happen when you give people specific ways to calm themselves down, cope with stress, motivate themselves, or manage their relationships better. I think what I love the most is that the PositiveEQ approach is so empowering. So many of my clients report that delving into the past leaves them exhausted - what they want is to move forward. I focus on helping them to do that. After all, what counts is how we feel in the moment and what kind of future you create for yourself.
What inspired you to start your own business?
For a year after qualifying, I worked as a counsellor for a year, but I struggled to consolidate the idea of a weakness-focused approach with wanting to help people to more forward. We seemed to be focused on dealing with anxiety, rather than doing what I felt was more important: developing calm. In the last 20 years, research has finally begun to uncover what healthy positive thinking patterns look like and how we can develop them. After I stumbled across the field of positive psychology and the emotional management skills it provided, there was no going back for me. I taught an emotional intelligence programme and saw faster, more meaningful changes than with any approach I'd used before. Within a year I'd moved to London to study my MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching, and I founded PositiveEQ.
Why should our clients choose you?
We aren't taught to manage our emotions in school, so is it any wonder we struggle with them? Negative thinking, stress and anxiety can leave us feeling like we aren't good enough when actually we just don't have the tools to change the way we feel. Our emotional experience underpins absolutely everything we do, from our performance at work, to relationships, to how well we sleep. When you replace thinking and coping habits that aren't serving us, your whole life is transformed. You're able to enjoy what you do. You can live in the moment. You know who you are and accept and like yourself.
At PositiveEQ, you'll learn proven positive emotional intelligence skills like how to reduce your fear, how to motivate yourself, and how to develop resilience to life's challenges. As far as I know of, there isn't anywhere else that takes this approach. I really wish there were, because we'd have a much happier world. If what was currently offered was working, we wouldn't have all the mental health problems we do today.
