Lose The Stress

Stress Management Coaching

Are you experiencing stress? It is probably affecting all areas of your life, making you feel anxious, irritable. Is it affecting your work, your relationships, and your long term physical and emotional health 
The body responds to danger by releasing hormones into the bloodstream, immediately giving us an edge both physically and mentally, giving us more strength and mental alertness to help us survive. In this fast-paced life we live, repeatedly, our stress buttons are pressed. Instead of escaping from a saber tooth tiger, we are stressed about important presentations, getting stuck in traffic, and meeting targets. The result is continuously having to experience feelings of danger and readiness at the expense of being calm and relaxed.
The impact that this can have on our lives can be dramatic. Stress can result in a wide range of emotional problems, including anger, anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and addiction. It can also affect our physical level leading to insomnia and a poorly functioning immune system.
With a unique blend of therapy, you will immediately start to feel more confident in your ability to do whatever you desire. Tailored especially to you, enabling you to access the resources that you have within you to change the way you think about yourself in any situation, replacing fear with confidence and self-belief.

Stop The Anxiety

Is anxiety affecting all areas of your life? Are you avoiding doing certain things? Is it preventing you from the life you want?

Anxiety attacks can produce an unpleasant cocktail of symptoms; sweating palms, nausea, palpitations, hyperventilation, and feelings of paranoia. As specific circumstances usually trigger anxiety, many people find themselves avoiding those situations where they may experience anxiety. In itself, this can exacerbate the problem, especially if those situations involve work, travel, or socialising.

With a unique blend of therapies, you can overcome anxiety, allowing you to be more physically relaxed and mentally calmer.

Lose The Fear

Conquer The Phobias

In little as a single session, you can be free of the subject of your phobia, and it will no longer have that extreme and debilitating power over you. You will be left relaxed and more confident in those specific situations where they used to be anxious or panicky, leaving equipped to live to the full.

What is the difference between therapy and coaching?

The main difference between therapy and coaching is how the work is focused. Therapy focuses on mental health and emotional healing, while life coaching focuses on setting and achieving goals moving forward to being the best you can.  This does not man that they are mutually exclusive.  Major life changing work benefits from being on a coaching frame work and coaching benefits greatly by the use of therapeutic interventions to breakthrough limiting beliefs.  

Can I book a free consultation?

Yes you can, in fact I insist.  The free session allows us to plan our way forward and ensures we re a good match.  It allows you to get to know me and the way I work, establishing rapport as we start our journey together.

How many sessions will I need and how much are your fees?

For therapy you wil need between 1 and 6 sessions.  With cutting edge techniques such as BWRT phobias and addictions it can be as little as a single session. Coaching tends to be between 6 and12 sessions, dependant on what you would like to achieve. 

Fees are:

£65 per hour session

What Clients Have Said

I was suffering from crippling anxiety and it had started to affect all areas of my life. I had confided in a friend who recommended Lesley. We did it all online via Skype and by session three I felt a different person, by session six I felt ready to start living my best life.  I know myself better and feel better equipped for the the good and bad times ahead.

Anna Chester

I had been asked to appear in a large work related court case and absolutely terrified. It  took just one session with Lesley to sort out my fears. Three weeks later I was on the stand for a whole day, couldn't believe it, not a problem. I would not hesitate in recommending Lesley. Cannot thank her enough.

Robert Edinburgh

Lesley helped me lose five stone in six months and I have kept it off. Something I wasn't expecting extra was my stress disappeared too.
