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 blood stream. This immediately give us an edge both physically and mentally, giving us more strength and mental alertness, to help us survive. In the fast paced life, we live today the stress buttons are being constantly pressed. Instead of escaping from a sabre tooth tiger we are stressed about important presentations, getting stuck in traffic and meeting targets. The result impermeably having to experience the 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 us 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 it is you desire. Tailored especially to you, enabling you to be able 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

Are you avoiding situations due to anxiety? Is it stopping you from living a full life?
Anxiety attacks can produce an unpleasant cocktail of  symptoms; sweating palms, nausea, palpatations, hyperventilation and feelings of paranoia.   As anxiety is usually triggered by specific circumstances, many people find themselves avoiding those situations where they may experience anxiety, this in itself 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

Fears of heights, spiders, needles, cats, lifts, dentists, buttons and clowns to name just few phobias that can be successfully treated. Leaving you relaxed and more confident in those specific situations where they used to be extremely anxious or panicky.

Hypnotherapy, BWRT, TFT and NLP bypass your conscious mind and focus on retraining your unconscious experience. Rapid, significant change is achieved, leaving you far better equipped to live to the full. 

In as little as one session, the subject of your phobia will no longer have that extreme and debilitating power over you,.

Performance Coaching

Do you want the edge to be top of your game? Whether it be in business, sport, the arts or anything else you can be.

Do you find yourself slipping , just a little too often?  Finding yourself failing to deliver at that crucial moment whether it be an important presentation, completion, show or exam? Very often when the stakes are high we fail to deliver to our full potential.

Enhancing performance and being at the top of our game is all about a state of mind, about controlling our emotions, focusing on our desired outcome and believing that we can do it. Top achievers in all fields whether it is Bill gates or  Sebastian Vettel use techniques to help them control; their mind, especially their unconscious mind that is responsible for creativity, behaviours and habits, beliefs and emotions. With the use of cutting edge psychological techniques on a coaching framework, we can reprogram habitual patterns of behaviour, ensuring that we perform to our true potential.

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.

£65 per hour session

£180 per block of 3 hourly sessions

Rave Reviews

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.
