HELLO AND WELCOME!
Back in the 1990’s I studied Psychology and became fascinated with human behaviour and how complicated humans make their lives. I wanted to help humans unpick the complex strategies they had designed as they went through life, that keep them stuck, fearful, lacking in confidence, loathing themselves and their bodies, tied to bad habits that keep them miserable and unfulifilled in alife that has the potential to be awesome.
I became a life coach with the London Academy and started working with adults, teaching them how to Quit Smoking, Lose Weight and love themselves more.
My passion was to bring out the best in everyone, so I arranged through youth clubs to deliver confidence coaching to teenagers struggling with their lives and showed them that they too can transform into confident, happy young people capable of achieving anything they put their minds to.
But, I wanted more. I wanted to help clients rediscover their confidence, reduce their anxiety, tame their fears and even ease pains that they had suffered with for years, WITHOUT spending years in therapy.
I qualified as a Hypnotherapist and Practitioner in NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), with an inspiring team, led by Richard Bandler and Paul McKenna, which produced startling results with my clients who broke through their fear of needles, public speaking, and everyday fears; they quit smoking, lost weight, overcame anxiety, and their confidence returned exponentially.
I find myself working more and more with like minded people who have shared similar life experiences and want to solve problems rather than live with them and be held hostage to them.
Meet Janey.
Everyone has their own unique way of experiencing life and overcoming problems. At some point in their life people ask themselves, “Is this it”? ; “Who the heck am I?”; “Where did I go?”.
Some of these questions can be part of ongoing issues such as anxiety, low self esteem, loss of confidence grounded in their experience as a child and young person. Whereas for others, it can feel like they spent their whole life making everyone else happy and trying to keep everything in order, which often results in a state of heightened anxiety and unhappiness. For some peoiple they feel unheard, unnoticed, under-valued and numb to what has been going on around them in their relationships with themselves and others.
Having grown up with a dominant father and people pleasing mother, I followed suit and careered through life seeking love and approval in the most unsuitable relationships. I fell into a career of law enforcement but never really felt that I belonged or was valued. I felt unheard, and as though I was never really part of the club, which frustrated me as I was passionate about the job and gave my heart and soul to it for years.
In my forties I realised how unhappy I was and took steps to find out why that was and what I could do about it.
I worked with a fabulous therapist, who made me face up to some tough demons and I turned to life coaching to help me heal and transform into the therapist I am now.
I have worked with hundreds of clients over the years who have come to me crippled with stress, anxiety and illness caused by their chaotic lifestyle. Within a short time they have discovered how to unload old feelings of shame, guilt, self loathing, not being good enough and realised how unrealistic and untrue those feelings and emotions were, and the damage they caused in their lives.
Last year was a big year of change, transformation and freedom for me. I let go of work, and situations that were no longer supporting me or making me happy. instead I founda new way of working that has given me a realistic work-life balance. In addition, I have studied Reiki and am now fully qualified to embed this into my practice so that my clients have a deeper richer experience of breakthroughs and transformation in their life. I continue to work with other leading coaches, and therapists to build on my knowledge, experience and self development, so that I can share this with my clients and deliver the best possible practice.
