Andy Lee: Certified Coach, B.A. M.Ed. NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer

Profile

Wanting to get change in your life can eat away at you inside. Having to deal with that pain and that constant discomfort rules your life. Had enough? Well you don’t have to carry on like this any longer.

Change comes easier for some than others, but change comes. It’s really important that you feel understood and listened to. My clients are always amazed at what they discover about themselves even in our introductory conversations. From understanding, listening to you, comes change and then transformation – clients say that they can’t get the old feelings back anymore no matter how hard they try.

Your transformation begins  by listening to you, and with you, to deepen your self understanding. You’ll quickly notice things you hadn’t connected before as you learn more abut yourself and how deeply your thoughts feelings and behaviour are connected. Its almost like developing empathy for yourself for the first time. I work hard to create the conditions for you to understand the changes you want to make and then carefully lead you through the right processes for you.

Knowledge of the way we work, and how to use that to enable you to change, comes from both my experience helping people change for over 30 years and my highly specialised certification. My work with you is based in developing a strong sympathetic relationship, building trust and confidence with you. This enables you to make changes at a fundamental level. Changes which come quickly and are yours forever.

I work hard to create the conditions for you to understand the changes you want to make and then carefully lead you through the right processes for you.

Every concern is rooted in your lifelong beliefs and experiences and they are yours to change. All I do is show you the way and help you through the steps you want to make.

Behaviours thoughts and feelings are all linked and drive each other to make us the people we are. I give you choice. I show where choice lies and leave the rest to you. You will be able to choose behaviours and habits such as over eating, smoking, drinking, not being able to say no, avoiding people and situations.

You might be looking for the answer to weight loss, quitting smoking or alcohol abuse. These are all habits which are responses to life which have got out of control. Other aspects of self protection which has got out of control are things like blushing, nerves (especially Exam Nerves) anxiety responses even anger management issues and depression are all serf protection responses which have stuck around too long and become a problem. If you lack confidence its probably because there was a time you felt bad and you needed a signal to get away from it – the trouble is the no confidence response carries on too long.

Stress is a very modern problem as we no longer allow ourselves to use oour fight or flight response when we are threatened - we just stick around until it gets too much

I believe that you are able to work perfectly given the context you find yourself in.  Sometimes, though, we end up with thoughts, feelings and behaviours that no longer help us and they begin to get in the way. This is what I help you to do. I’ll work with you to find the root cause of difficulties, help you think of your life differently and teach you how you can think, act and life the way thats best for you!

• You might have found yourself at a point in your life where you want to progress, or make change or get control back.
• You might be faced with a big decision or unexpected change.
• You might want to get control of stress or anxiety in your life.
• Many people work with me to overcome fears, phobias or other troubling memories.
• I help people make changes in their eating and drinking habits.
• Business owners work with me to be able to move their business on to the next level.
• I help people find the confidence and self esteem they need.
• If you need to make important decisions and changes in you life than I can take you through a structured process so that its best for you.
• I help people with anxieties about specific things such as presenting, public speaking, exams and interviews, and I teach them skills techniques and approaches so that they are successful.
• People work with me to improve their relationships and communication with others.

Lacking Motivation?
Those who have emotional responses which are not helping them, for whatever reason have become demotivated work with me to understand what motivates them and how they can move to being fully in control of their lives. They get a huge sens of direction, a clear idea of want they want in life and they make big strides towards achieving their goals quickly.

Low Self confidence or self-belief
Many of my clients present with issues which are to do with low self confidence and issues with self belief. Self-Confidence is a set of beliefs about oneself which are difficult to change without help from a coach. My clients are shown how they control their self confidence and self belief and given the tolls to have choice over what they think and believe about themselves and what they can achieve in their lives. Hypnotherapy is particularly effective in helping clients make huge shifts in their mindsets which promote permanent change.

Fears and Phobias
NLP was developed by looking at how exceptional therapists were getting results and learning how to transfer those skills to others. The co-creators then went on to work with people experiencing extreme Phobias and fears including post traumatic stress disorder. I trained with one of the co-creators (John Grinder) specifically on this area. Phobias are one off powerful learning experiences and can be usually dealt with in a very sort time.

Overcoming traumatic events
Hypnotherapy and NLP are particularly effective in enabling people to overcome the effects of previous traumatic events in their lives which continue to limit their performance. Many clients experience rapid and lasting change. If you are limited by previous traumatic events than it is possible to change the way these effect you reasonably quickly.

Need to make a big decision? Careers - Relationships?
Clients faced with big decisions - jobs, careers, relationships work with me to understand what is really important to them. They are then able to make decisions in-line with their underlying values, they then work with Andy as they make changes gathering support and making personal change as they go.

Recently I've done a lot of work with Business Owners  who are wanting to develop their businesses but lack the confidence or skills to make changes become clients. Working with me enables them to understand what they need to do to achieve their dreams and then I work with them to implement changes and transform their businesses and their lives. New skills, mindsets and different approaches lead to clients creating new sustainable income streams.

Work Life Balance: Stress - Health - Relationships
Achieving work life balance is an area where clients have come, unable to balance the stresses and demands of work, the impact this has on health and relationships. Andy ensures immediate steps to safety, providing techniques to manage stress immediately, then promotes a more refined view of self and the uncovering of real priorities. I works with clients to identify their real priorities and step by step measures towards achieving a new sustainable balance in their lives.

My background

I am a Personal Change and Development Specialist, an accredited NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner, a Certified NLP Trainer and an accredited Hypnotherapist.

NLP and coaching

I first encountered NLP as a teacher working with young people and their families, coaching both those experiencing difficulties and high-performing students.

After progressing from a career in education, I took NLP Diploma and Practitioner training and followed this up with Hypnotherapy training. I completed my Master Practitioner with Michael Carroll at the NLP Academy in Croydon. Keen to have the best Trainers Training available, I also studied with Carmen Bostic St Clair and John Grinder, one of the original co-creators of NLP.
