Experience
I have been trained in a wide range of different coaching and counselling methods, including:
**Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). A hugely effective therapeutic method that addresses the negative thought patterns that usually underlie stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.
**CBT Coaching. A development of CBT that lends itself more to coaching than counselling. The emphasis is on thought processes and actions that we can take to make our lives more effective.
**Confidence Coaching. I am a certified Confidence Coaching graduate with 24-7U.com, part of the 24-7 Group - the internet's leading directory system for the personal and professional development industry.
**Stress management. A multi-modal cognitive-behavioural approach to the nature of stress, its management and prevention.
**Assertiveness and Communication Skills. Understanding how we can communicate to maximise our outcomes and maintain our self-respect.
**Solution Focused Therapy. How to create positive thinking strategies – focusing on the solution rather than the problem can often open the door to change.
**Psychodynamic Counselling. A way of understanding the powerful role of the unconscious in our lives, and how we develop defences that can hold us back from achieving our full potential.
**Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). A model for improving performance, becoming an excellent communicator and undergoing personal change.
