Profile
I specialise in stress coaching. Skype calling and video calling available. In just 6 weeks, and for as little as £130, you can see real improvements in your symptoms.Stress occurs when we perceive the demands in our lives to be greater than our ability to cope with them. Relationships, finances, work, health, and loss are just some of the sources of stress that place great demands on us. I have read the business advice saying I should charge a similar rate to others offering the service. Charging less is said to give the client the impression that there must be something wrong with the service provided. I went to see a small business advisor and they said "If it doesn't hurt in the pocket they wont value it".I felt that times were hard for people and it would be difficult for clients to afford more. I am not interested in getting rich, I have set a price that will generate an income I am comfortable with. There is nothing inferior about the service I provide.
To reduce your symptoms, and takcle the causes of your stress, you need to explore the way you think about and perceive the world and events. You also need to think about how stress affects you physically and how you can protect yourself. Finally,you need to explore changes in your behaviour that you can make that will reduce your stress. You can't control the world but you can take control of how you respond to it. You won't do this alone, I will support you every step of the way.
The service I offer can be tailored to your individual needs. I welcome contact by telephone, or e-mail, if you want to find out more about what I offer, and how it could help you. Ask as many questions as you like. You can mail me and ask me to call you, if that is more convienient.

Further Information
Here is what my clients say
"Thank you so much for all your help and support over the last few weeks. I have taken on board your advice. I found your listening skills were excellent which helped me to relax and think things through rationally. It also gave me an opportunity to get things off my chest, I really valued this .The C D and all the hand outs you gave me were really useful and I do keep referring to them when I am feeling tense.
I felt that it was time out for me when we had our appointments, and it also helped as you were impartial and professional, but understood what and why this incident was troubling me."
- Lynn
"John has helped me to focus on what is really important and to prioritise my goals and manage my time. I look forward to our sessions and find that John helps me to see things from different angles. He makes suggestions that I hadn’t considered and has a calm and patient manner. Without John’s support I would still be trying to improve my life without knowing where to start. He is a very good listener and so easy to talk to, I do not feel that I would have been able to talk to anyone else about my lack of direction. He doesn’t judge me, or think any of my suggestions or goals are foolish or unrealistic. I come away from the sessions with a renewed positive attitude and confidence. John has given me the tools to improve my life for the better."
- Brenda
"When I first started talking to John, I was facing a number of stresses in my life, I struggled to see how I could manage them. I didn’t know who I was, or where I was going, and I really did feel a bit lost.
The methods, techniques and assessments that John provides are first class and really help towards achieving what you want in every area of your life. John is a good listener ,and very good at providing hints and tips to get you moving.I would definitely recommend him to anyone who would like to take control of their lives."
