About Me…

If you are here, it’s because you want to get to know me, so I’m not going to beat around the bush. Yes, I am a qualified NLP (neuro linguistic programming) coach but what led me to this profession in the first place?

Well, for me, in my 40s, life seemed to be trundling along quite nicely. I’d had a successful military career and made the transfer to the civilian world, all amidst a divorce and moving house. Yes, I was working hard and bringing up two children but we are all busy right? I felt tired with the relentless demands of life and work, trying to feel happy about relationships and frustrated when I didn’t. I kept holding everything together whilst all the time thinking I was falling short of the expectation I had set for myself including how I looked so I thrashed myself at the gym too. 

Harder and harder I drove myself, ignoring the road signs that screamed ‘stop, slow down, take a different route!’  Suddenly….. silence. Well, that’s what it felt like for me, after my breakdown. I began a year of recovery.  I’ve learned a lot of things along the way and changed careers as a result. But what if I’d had a road map before I started my journey? A map with signs that acted like a sat nav and enabled me to make clear, informed  choices. What if I had somehow taken a different route that day, that meant that having a breakdown was not an inevitable outcome of my learned behaviours? What if someone could have caught me before I fell and reached rock bottom. 

Well, if you will let me, I can be that person for you….
