Professional support with a human touch
As a qualified youth and community educator with specialist skills, knowledge and experience, I am able to facilitate fun experiential learning opportunities that enable groups and individuals to understand how to recognise and release problem feelings and negative patterns of behaviour using practical activities.
All of my therapy and training sessions take place in a relaxed, supportive and non-judgmental environment.
My work draws from a range of gentle, practical and effective approaches including Hypnotherapy, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Mindfulness and meditation, to mention a few.
I can offer sessions in a particular technique, but usually create bespoke sessions and programmes suited to the needs of my clients.
I am very open to collaborate with organisers and promoters to bring my knowledge, skills and expertise to new areas, communities and organisations, please enquire.
