Finding the Joy Coaching and Holistic Therapy

I wanted to create a way that I could share what I had learnt in my journey and give others the support and space that I had needed and couldn't find. I am fiercely passionate about our right to love and acceptance. Most illness and pain come from lack of self-worth so I want to show people to know how magnificent and powerful they really are and give them the tools and beliefs to create what they want and to have a life of joy, confidence and purpose.

There are a few reasons my clients say they are glad they chose me:

1. I'm not like normal, traditional therapist, coach or counsellor who just works with a single approach or tool. I know we all have different ways of learning and so I have a wide variety of tools to choose from so I can find what works best for you. This is why so many of my clients have been to other therapists previously and given up as that approach hasn't worked so they then sadly think therapy/coaching doesn't work.

2. I have a very empowering approach, I want to give you the tools to help yourself so you can get on with living your best life, not be seeing me forever! Right from the start I will give you the tools, techniques and tips to help you grow and change so that when you aren't with me, you can still help yourself. Many therapists don't teach you how to do it yourself so you have to keep going back and never feel empowered.

3. I don't just sit and listen to you talk; I do listen and it's important that you are heard and witnessed in a safe space but as a holistic coach and therapist I will work interactively with powerful tools that engage body, mind and spirit. Most therapists/coach just work with the mind and clients sit and talk about their problem but aren't helped to get out of that place. This doesn't work and I will show you why.

4. In our first session I will give you the clarity that has been missing for you and let you know what is really going on for you and causing the problem, and, tell you how to move forward so you have a clear plan that works for you. Not a one fits all solution, but the way that will work for you so you have the confidence and support you need in the process.

5. It's really important to me that you feel safe enough to express yourself. Sessions with me involve laughter, swearing, sometimes tears, as it's essential you have a place where you can get in touch with your emotions safely like anger, guilt, shame and sadness as well as joy and freedom. Sessions are interactive and often fun. I'm not stuffy and formal as I want you to feel safe to be yourself and that may be something you have never been able to do before.

6. I will show you that you have the right to be loved, to be who you really are and will show you how to do that in your own life so you feel safe and confident. I want you to be able to be the person you hide away out of fear that you won't be accepted. It's so important you have somewhere safe to do that and be witnessed so you can start that journey to accepting yourself fully.

7. I have many years experience of helping clients to do this work and I do the work myself so I know what it is like, how rewarding and challenging it is. The tools I have work and I am passionate about them because I see them working and changing the lives of my clients every day. However, the most important thing is that I believe in you because when you start this work you need someone who believes in you and will support you while you are working through your issues and give you the space and support to create the confidence, strength and belief in yourself.

8. Unlike a lot of therapists/coaches I work with both approaches; I look at the past and what keeps you stuck and I also help you get clear on what you want to create in the future for yourself. You need both, a lot of therapy is focused on the past and doesn't lift you from those old patterns so you stay stuck and often a coach is focused on your future but doesn't look at the beliefs and experiences that have brought you to where you are now. My unique approach gives you both.

Yes I use Zoom which is stable and secure. I can also offer by phone which some clients prefer.

I have moved my work online or phone where possible.

I do offer in-person sessions for those that are able to visit my clinic space in Hitchin, Hertfordshire where masks are worn, cleaning takes place in between every client, windows can be opened and social distancing can be maintained between me and my clients throughout the session.
