As an experienced teacher and NLP practitioner, I can make a real difference to the way that you learn. For more than 16 years I have been working with adults and young people to make the changes they desire in their lives: improve their educational levels in literacy and numeracy, develop ways of overcoming the barriers caused by dyslexia and building confidence for every day life situations.

If exam stress is getting in the way of you achieving your personal best, then you will benefit from re-programming your brain to react differently. NLP is a well proven approach to behaviour change - and being nervous is a learned behaviour. Excellent for driving test nerves!

As a Skills for Life subject specialist teacher in both literacy and numeracy I have been working to teach the teachers. This has been with the University of Sunderland and with the Tyne & Wear Challenge Project. Soft skills, RARPA and confidence building are my specialsit areas.

I also work with teachers who wish to improve their own practice by developing NLP skills. As part of my coaching role, I use NLP to develop stress release techniques and balancing work load management.

I also offer the opportunity to learn self hypnosis for relaxation and confidence building. I am a qualified clinical hypnotherapist and I practise in Tyne & Wear.
