I trained
with CCUI (Corporate Coach
University International) in
the USA over 17 years ago and
have extensive experience both
as a coach and as a therapist
with a holistic view of
life. I specialise in
helping people to increase
their personal effectiveness
so that they can manage their
emotions and beliefs, develop
their gifts and talents, lead
happy and fulfilling lives at
home and at work, and
successfully handle whatever
major changes or challenges
come their way.
I have trained in a number of
related disciplines over the
years as part of my continuous
personal and professional
development, all of which
reflect my passionate interest
in holistic health, psychology
and psychoneuroimmunology.
I am an experienced life coach,
Human Givens counsellor &
psychotherapist, hypnotherapist,
IEMT practitioner (integral eye
movement therapy for rapid and
lasting emotional relief) and
Reiki energy therapist, and have
been running my own private
holistic therapy practice since
1998. I have helped people
with all kinds of physical,
mental and emotional issues,
with a strong focus on trauma,
anxiety, phobias, stress
management, anger, depression,
as well as personal development,
relationship difficulties, work
challenges, and helping people
to boost their confidence and
self esteem.
In
addition to a post-graduate
Human Givens diploma in
counselling and psychotherapy, I
hold a diploma in Advanced
Hypnotherapy and Hypnohealing, a
diploma in Clinical
Hypnotherapy, and qualifications
in life coaching, NLP
(Neuro-Linguistic Programming),
EFT (Emotional Freedom
Technique), IEMT (Integrated Eye
Movement Therapy), NFSH
(National Federation of
Spiritual Healing) and Reiki
Energy Therapy.
This broad and
extensive training in
complementary therapy,
counselling and life coaching
over many years has given me a
holistic understanding of life
and health and a profound
knowledge of people and their
mental, physical and emotional
needs. I am therefore
able to provide fast and very
effective help for a wide
range of personal concerns and
challenges, with particular
emphasis on an holistic
approach to health and
well-being, emotional
intelligence, self awareness
and work/life balance.
During sessions, which
can be conducted face-to-face or
remotely by phone depending on
the therapeutic approach chosen,
I use a variety of well proven
and effective coaching,
psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EFT
and IEMT techniques, along with
relaxation and stress management
training, where appropriate and
depending entirely on each
particular client's preference
and need.
I work very flexibly,
in a way that is designed to
bring about rapid, lasting
change. Part of the
coaching process, where helpful,
is to teach clients effective,
practical personal development,
stress management and self
awareness techniques which they
can use both to support their
own progress in between sessions
and to maintain their feeling of
confidence, well-being and self
empowerment once they have
achieved their coaching
objective.
My consultation
room is in the
Corstorphine/Murrayfield area
of Edinburgh West, just off
the Corstorphine Road at
Western Corner, where there is
free parking. Please note that
as I am on the first floor, I
am unfortunately not
accessible for anybody unable
to climb a flight of stairs.
Where appropriate I also
conduct consultations over the
phone, by Skype, FaceTime or
Zoom with clients who are
unable to come for
face-to-face sessions either
because of time constraints,
health or mobility challenges,
or because they live in other
parts of Scotland, the UK or
abroad.
