Areas of Expertise
Private Client Coaching
I'm a Chartered Fellow of the Institute of Personnel and Development and began coaching and mentoring, mediating, career planning and executive coaching in my Human Resources career. The areas I work in are chronic pain and neuroplastic symptom recovery, health and life coaching and career coaching. My speciality is coaching for people who are experiencing chronic pain and other chronic symptoms. Working together, we select specific tools from a toolbox of methods to help you break down old neural circuits and begin to build new ones.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)
I help my clients find relief through a unique approach called Pain Reprocessing Therapy. PRT is an approach developed at the Pain Psychology Center in Los Angeles. The method was pivotal in my own recovery from fibromyalgia and numerous other neuroplastic symptoms. This therapy focuses on re-wiring the brain's connections to reduce symptoms and improve overall wellbeing. I can work one-on-one with you to create a personalised recovery strategy and plan.

TEAM CBT
I believe that the best way to achieve complete recovery is through a holistic combination of approaches that create a, "Universe of Safety"™️ within and without the person. That's why I also offer TEAM CBT, a unique approach to cognitive behavioural therapy that integrates a wide variety of simple but carefully-targeted Methods to provide individualised solutions and to help clients better understand how the activity of their brain translates into everyday behaviours that may or may not be helpful to their recovery.

NERVOUS SYSTEM EDUCATION
For people suffering from chronic pain or other neuroplastic symptoms, it is very important to reorientate yourself towards your own nervous system, essentially learning how to speak its language and coming into a new state of familiarisation with how your unique body works.
Movement
A strategy of gentle reintroduction to a style of activity that fits with a person's condition and lifestyle is always a part of any recovery plan for my clients. I recommend Somatics as particularly beneficial for those with muscle pain, tension and stiffness.
