Coaching

Picture
I offer one to one coaching sessions, specialising in stress & anxiety management, weight management, and de-cluttering.

I work holistically and use a wide variety of different approaches tailored to your individual needs. These approaches include:
Cognitive Behavioural Coaching This is a highly effective method of examining  negative, outdated or distorted thought patterns and belief systems which affect our emotional states and limit our behaviour. Once they have been identified they can be changed to healthier and more rational thoughts and beliefs which allow us to make better choices  and ultimately be  more fulfilled in our lives.
Relaxation & Mindfulness Training We can learn how to control our stress response by incorporating relaxation and breathing exercises into our daily lives. The breath is our link between mind and body, and by learning how to breathe correctly we can become more mindful and access greater clarity and inner peace.
Guided visualisation and imagery These techniques tap into the subconscious powers of the mind and the imagination to change thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Visualisation can be useful for rehearsing future events, focussing on a positive outcome, or can be simply used to access positive and tranquil states of mind. Imagery can be used effectively for dealing with health issues or for transforming negative feelings into positive ones.

Looking at lifestyle changes The way we live our lives on a day-to-day level can have an enormous impact on the way we handle situations and by tweaking some of the ways we manage ourselves we can improve the quality of our lives. Examples include looking at basic nutrition; activity levels; time management; space de-cluttering; and help with addictive behaviour.

Improving interpersonal skills Often poor communication can lead to stressful situations, and by improving our ability to express ourselves clearly and assertively, whether with our loved ones, at work, or with friends and family, we can reduce the amount of conflict in our lives.

NLP  Neurolinguistic programming sounds a bit technical! but is basically a method of
  • becoming more self-motivated
  • having well-defined goals that will lead to a more fulfilled life
  • becoming more aware of how we communicate (both verbally and non-verbally)
  • learning how good communication can lead to increased personal effectiveness.

Any or all of the above ‘techniques’ can be used to formulate a plan which will tackle some of the unhelpful ways of being that we develop throughout our lives. These old thoughts, feelings and behaviours often need updating, much like we would update the software on our computers!

I feel like Jan has given me a key that opens a door to a better, happier life. I now feel lighter and brighter.

Working with Jan helped me focus on personal and professional issues that I wanted to improve upon. She helped me approach these issues in new ways and resulted in breakthroughs.

Jan helped me to see that my negative thoughts were not insurmountable and helped me take a fresher, more positive view on life. It was like having my brain unlocked, freeing me to think in the way I used to before I had lots of responsibilities! And best of all these new thought patterns haven’t diminished over time.

Jan gave me some very constructive techniques for dealing with my anxiety problems and I always felt that she was 100% sincere in her interest and pleasure when I reported successes in using them.

I had the opportunity to work with Jan when life for me had become quite challenging. I was unhappy with both who I was and where I was in life. I had worked with a couple of therapists before in the past, and although they were pleasant I didn't feel I had gained anything from the time I spent with them. I found building a rapport with Jan very easy, she had a warmth and calm to her personality which made it very easy to open up and talk about difficult issues. During the time I worked with Jan I gained a better understanding of why I was feeling the way I was and why I seemed to follow certain patterns in my life that were not healthy for me. I was able to start making changes which have led me to a far happier place in life, and although I still have challenging times as most people I have definitely learnt how to manage them differently now. Thank you Jan for supporting me to make the changes I needed to move on to a happier and healthier place.
