About me
You may appear successful and capable on the outside, yet privately feel held back by anxiety, stress, self-doubt, difficult past experiences or patterns you cannot seem to change.
Perhaps you have reached a crossroads in your career, business, relationship or personal life. You know that something needs to change, but you are unsure how to move forward—or you are frustrated that understanding the problem has not been enough to resolve it.
I am Phill Hanlon, an experienced Strategic Transformation Coach, Master NLP Practitioner, Master Time Line Therapy® Practitioner and Master Hypnotherapist. Based in South Wales, I work with clients in person and online throughout the UK and internationally.
For more than 25 years, I have studied personal development, human behaviour, communication and the psychology of change. My work is focused on helping people understand what is really keeping them stuck, leave the past where it belongs and create a clearer, more compelling future.
The presenting problem is rarely the whole problem. Anxiety, low confidence, procrastination, burnout or repeated relationship and career difficulties are often symptoms of deeper beliefs, emotional patterns or decisions formed much earlier in life.
My role is to help you identify those patterns and work towards meaningful, lasting change.
How I work
My approach is personal, practical and tailored to the individual.
I do not believe that one technique is right for every person. Depending on your needs, I may draw upon coaching, NLP, Time Line Therapy®, hypnotherapy, Havening and other personal development approaches.
Our work may help you:
Develop greater confidence and self-belief
Address limiting beliefs and unhelpful emotional patterns
Reduce feelings of anxiety, overwhelm and stress
Move beyond difficult experiences from the past
Improve motivation, focus and personal direction
Navigate career, business or relationship challenges
Strengthen leadership and communication skills
Clarify your values, priorities and future goals
Create a healthier balance between achievement and wellbeing
I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds, including professionals, managers, business owners, leaders, athletes and individuals who are ready to make a significant change in their lives.
Some clients come to me because they are struggling. Others are already successful but know they are capable of more.
In either case, the starting point is the same: understanding where you are now, what has been holding you back and what needs to change for you to move forward.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am trained and certified as a:
Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, certified through the American Board of NLP
Master Practitioner of Time Line Therapy®, certified through the Time Line Therapy Association
Master Hypnotherapist, certified through the American Board of Hypnotherapy
Master Coach, certified through Unleash Your Potential
Practitioner of Havening Techniques®
My work has also received recognition through a number of coaching, leadership and business awards, including Life Coach of the Year recognition in both 2025 and 2026.
Qualifications and techniques matter, but so does the ability to listen, understand and adapt. I combine professional training with extensive real-world experience and a genuine commitment to helping each client achieve meaningful progress.
Areas of coaching I deal with
Fees
Free initial telephone or online session
Additional information
I offer a complimentary initial discovery call by telephone or online.
This gives us an opportunity to discuss what is happening in your life, what you would like to change and whether I am the right person to support you.
Hourly appointments are available, although many clients benefit from a tailored programme designed around their particular circumstances and objectives.
I focus on the outcome we are working towards, not simply the number of hours booked.
Please contact me directly to discuss the most appropriate option for you.
Availability
I work with clients in person from my practice in South Wales and online with clients throughout the UK and internationally.
Because I work across different time zones, appointment times can be flexible. Daytime, evening and limited weekend appointments may be available.
Please enquire to discuss current availability.

Further information
My mission is to help people move beyond the experiences, beliefs and patterns that have limited them, so they can live with greater freedom, purpose and confidence.
You do not need to have everything worked out before contacting me. You may simply know that the way things are now is no longer how you want them to remain.
Our first conversation is informal and without obligation. It is an opportunity for you to explain what you are experiencing, ask questions and decide whether working together feels right.
When you are ready to put the past back in the past and leave it there.
I invite you to get in touch.
