Profile

Currently offering free 30 minute consultations. Book 4 sessions in advance and receive 10% discount.

When is someone going to help me find solutions to everyday life?

As a fully qualified Life & Personal coach I can help you do that. I can help you reduce stress so you feel calmer, more in control and more confident. If you struggle to lose weight no matter how hard you try, I can help you discover the underlying issues. If you have been made redundant, want a career change or want to begin that purposeful career, I can help you find that purpose and begin earning money from it.

How do I know? Because I do it everyday with individuals, groups, schools and even on BBC radio. I attract clients from Derby, Leicester, Birmingham, Burton-on-Trent and Nottingham.

How I am different from other therapists and coaches?

Different from other therapists, I too have been in your situation - looking for some help. Some years ago I lost a family relative in an unexpected manner. For a short time I was down, stressed, unhappy and anxious.

Looking back, it was probably the making of me. This was because I decided to do something positive about it. There were challenges along the way, but I used these to my advantage. I learned to take charge of the situation and determine the outcome. Therefore I believe I can relate to you, without projecting my experiences on to you. I am told by clients that it makes me more human!

Take a look around and please feel free to contact me if you believe I can help you. You are no doubt interested in seeking some help - Question: What have you got to lose?

My Areas of Speciality:

Providing powerful stress management tools and techniques
Discovering underlying weight loss issues
Matching your career with your passions
Learning to control anxiety
Moving from depression to passion
Life changes such as redundancy, divorce, relationships.
Boosting confidence & self esteem
Creating and controlling motivation
While I do specialise in the above, I do also treat the conditions listed below.

What to expect:

I recommend a free consultation to everyone I see. This allows you to talk in a relaxed manner and find out if what I offer feels right for you. It also allows me to be confident I can help you. If I am not, I am happy to refer you to a close colleague. A free consultation lasts 30 minutes and you can ask any questions you may have. By the end of it you will have an idea of how many sessions you are to have and the associated cost.

A standard coaching session lasts 60 minutes. In that time I always aim to have you feeling more positive than when you arrived.

Above all, you can expect to have a positive and professional experience that makes you feel you have progressed like never before. We will begin by discussing your personal circumstances and what has bought you to this point in your life. Certain behavioural patterns may need to be discovered before you are able to effectively move forward positively.

Goals are so important to human beings, they create focus and challenge. It is well known that we are far more likely to achieve something if it is in the form of a well created goal. This is a big part of what I offer. Together we will create goals you are happy to work toward daily.

No goal can be achieved without obstacles appearing - real or imagined. They are inevitable yet necessary - just ask anyone who has ever achieved anything. Together we will understand them better and rise above them. In doing so you are able to learn, grow and achieve what you intend.

You are coming to see me to make powerful changes. Each session, we will create actions for you to focus on over the coming days and weeks. Some actions will be big and bold, some will be small yet significant. These actions will boost your confidence and motivation. They will enable you to feel more in control and happier.

Testimonials:

Stress has always been the big issue in my life. Chris helped me notice when I was becoming stressed and control it easily and calmly. Lisa, Burton on Trent.

I went to see Chris to boost my confidence. I discovered this was related to my weight issues. I had always yo-yo dieted and needed help. I am now losing weight steadily and feel much more confident. Thank you. Craig, Notts.

I had little direction but knew I needed to change career. I had ideas but little confidence to make the changes. We worked on this and gradually I gained the confidence to make changes. I have changed jobs and now work for myself!! Stacey, Derby.

Chris and I spent 5 sessions together and within session 1 I was motivated to make changes. I felt supported, never judged and relaxed. Overall a fantastic experience! Jenny, Derby.

Further Information

I got into coaching and personal development about 5 years ago after a Family member died in tragic circumstances. I found this hard to deal with and found myself largely 'down' with little energy and a poor lifestyle. When you combine that with OCD its a powerful mix.

When I went to see a coach for around 8 sessions, I soon received an injection of positivity and belief again. Since then I have studied myself for hundreds of hours. I now surround myself only with positive people, live with true confidence, have unshakable self belief and have achieved more than I previously had imagined - OCD free.

There is more to it than just setting goals and doing a bit of work. Its about self study, patience, learning and a huge, yet quiet belief in yourself.

The very fact you are on this website, suggests that you could benefit from coaching. If you would like to discuss how best for you to move forward positively, get in touch and it would be a pleasure to help.
