Why My Approach Works
Throughout my career I have explored many different approaches to health and wellbeing. The fundamental question I have been trying answer has always been, "How do we empower people to prioritise their own wellbeing?"
Surely to be self-empowered to create positive health and wellbeing behaviours is what we would all want?
The old addage 'prevention is better than cure' has always rang true for me. I know that I would prefer to live a life where I could prevent myself from getting physical or mental health problems. Not only to prevent illnesses from occuring, but create behaviours that optimise my wellbeing so that I can live life to its greatest potential. This is the journey that I have been on: to use my knowledge and expertise in conventional medicine and ally this with new skills that can help people create positive, lifelong behaviour change.
You see, telling people that something isn't good for them is not enough. Even if they know it to be true. There are deeper levels within which we must work with people to help them make fundamental change. Behaviours are ingrained in our subconscious and our beliefs are tied in with our values and purpose.
And this is where true transformation occurs and why my process works. When we work together we remove limiting beliefs and create fundamental shifts in thoughts, beliefs and actions because they align with your purpose and values. Then you can live a truly empowered life.
At the heart of my coaching programmes lies a powerful and transformative 3-step process: Breakthrough, Change, and Transform.
Breakthrough: Every transformation begins with a breakthrough. We delve deep to uncover the root cause of your challenges. Together, we unravel the hidden beliefs, patterns, and narratives shaping your current reality. We gain clarity and understand the "why" behind them. Change: Once the breakthrough happens, the journey of change begins. This phase is a guided process of self-discovery, shifting perspectives, and breaking through limiting beliefs. Using evidence-based techniques like NLP, hypnotherapy, and coaching, we pave the way for lasting change. This is where you start to feel the shift – creating new thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that align with the empowered person you aspire to be.
Transform: The final phase is transformation – the result of the breakthroughs and changes you’ve made. Here, you emerge as someone who has grown, with newfound clarity, resilience, and empowerment.
This transformation isn’t the end; it’s the beginning of an ongoing journey. Each transformation uncovers new layers of growth, leading to fresh breakthroughs, deeper change, and continued transformation. Ensuring you’re always moving forward, thriving, and becoming the best version of yourself.
My Own Journey
Why can I be so confident that this approach works?
On my journey developing the skills to help others, I have experienced first-hand the power of the techniques and processes that I have learned. I have been on a journey to empower my own wellbeing, optimise my health and live the best life I can for myself and my family.
Whilst I was learning coaching techniques and NLP, I discovered that I had developed self-sabotaging patterns. I had never realised it until I was being coached myself, but then it became so clear: whenever I started to create something positive, I would find a way to stop myself! I had a fear of becoming successful because of a limiting belief I had about not being good enough. Working with my coach I was able to shift my perspectives to see how this was having such a negative impact on me and then created goals and actions to challenge those thought processes. Now those limiting beliefs are no longer there!
I had problem with my body image, because as a child I was overweight and bullied for it at school. Consequently, I developed bad eating habits and a difficult relationship with food. Again it was only through coaching did I discover my behaviours were linked to these issues that I had as a child. I then went through the same clinical hypnotherapy techniques that I use now and the transformation was phenomenal! Within 2 sessions, those beliefs that were so ingrained in me about food and my body image had gone. The mental and emotional strain had lifted!
