Brief outline of learning and experience:

I have a 2:1 honours degree in social sciences from The South Bank University London.
Since 2000 I have worked in a self employed capacity in private practice as a coach (NLP Master Practitioner and Hypnotherapist). My clients are from a wide variety of professional backgrounds. I support people to achieve their goals in both their personal and business life.
I completed an NLP practitioner course with Mckenna Breen and Richard Bandler. I also completed a 20 day NLP practitioner course with Marlin Management training. In 2004 I successfully completed my NLP master practitioner training with the NLP academy.
Then in 2006 I attained certified NLP trainers status (certified by John Grinder and Carmen Bostic St Clair). I hold a Diploma in cognitive and analytical Hypnotherapy. I am currently engaged in post graduate MSc degree in coaching psychology at The University of East London.

I have been devising and delivering NLP practitioner and Master practitioner training courses since August 2006.
I hold accredited trainer status with the ANLP and full membership of The Association for Coaching.
I have devised and delivered hypnotherapy diploma courses since September 2005 (validated by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council and the Hypnotherapy Association).
As an independent consultant I have devised and delivered training for voluntary organisations, local authorities, educational establishments, (including the University of Essex Business School) and for clinicians and senior managers in the NHS.

My time is now divided between coaching individuals (mainly senior managers, members of leadership teams and executives) and devising and delivering training.

Stress, depression and anxiety have been described as the epidemics of the 21st century. Even normally healthy, happy people are experiencing damaging negative effects created by for instance; additional pressure at work, family issues, relationship problems or general feelings of uncertainty about the future.
More and more people are turning to the therapeutic experience of hypnosis for deep psychological relaxation. A visit to a professional hypnotherapy practitioner can provide a welcome respite from the incessant stressful bombardment of our “bad news culture”.
Professional hypnotherapists understand that there exists an interaction between our mental state (consisting of thoughts, assumptions, beliefs and emotions) and our biological and physiological reactions. As created via neurological chemicals. Hypnotherapy can help you improve your mental state and reduce stress, depression and anxiety by altering the chemicals released in the brain, possibly even improving the functioning of the endocrine and immune systems. At the very least it will enhance feelings of wellbeing and personal control which in turn has a positive impact on your attitude, ability to cope, leaving you feeling more in control of your thoughts and feelings.

Psychological Coaching. The Hummingbird Effect; (HBE) is a unique individual personal development program devised and developed by Denise Collins. It represents a true investment in your future. During economically tough times it is vital to focus on something that will assist you in refining and achieving your goals in order to ensure your future success. Your motivation, effectiveness and efficiency are all central to your future. Are you ready now to take the simple action that will ensure you give yourself that massive edge?

The Hummingbird Effect The history.....

In 2007 I spent a month engaged in NLP training in Nevada. While there I encountered something that was to become an inspirational metaphor symbolising my approach to personal development and training for success; a Hummingbird.

When I saw my first Hummingbird I wasn’t wearing my specs. I thought that is either a very small bird or a very big bug!!! You may have heard of the butterfly effect, where it is thought that the sedate flapping of the butterfly’s wings can create a hurricane on the other side of the world. Well the Hummingbird can beat its wings 80 times per second. Get the idea? My approach is like the Hummingbird, small enough to react with speed and therefore responsive to change. The Hummingbird is the only bird that as well as flying up, down and forwards can fly backwards! So I feel it beautifully embodies the principle of flexibility so crucial in personal development and growth.

Some training and personal development organisations are more like Eagles. Large and powerful but inflexible. They may be flying high but go in circles.

The Hummingbird Effect is all about practically supporting people (through one to one work and training), to improve various aspects of personal and or professional life. Creating the life you want and true personal freedom starts from within. Each of us creates our own reality. From an early age many of us were unconsciously programmed for failure. Using the Hummingbird Effect I will support you in identifying and successfully achieving your goals. Get in touch now to discover how.
