Supervision

Good practice requires regular supervision of cases, as this ensures standards are maintained.

Process

An exploratory meeting is firstly essential; this provides the opportunity to consider whether we wish to work together. It is just as important that you feel comfortable with me as it is that I feel comfortable with you.

We will agree the appropriate length and frequency of sessions depending on individual requirements. If you are late on arriving, we will terminate at the agreed time. There is always a gap between clients so as to ensure anonymity, for those people wishing this. All appointments are to be booked in advance.

Cancellations should be made at least 24 hours in advance, otherwise a fee will be charged for the missed appointment.

Contact

There are times when I am unavailable for various reasons. To allow messages to get through I have a confidential voicemail service that I encourage clients to use. If I need to make contact with you, I will simply leave my name and telephone number should you be unavailable.

Contact can be face to face, over the telephone or via webcam, depending on your requirements.

How can coaching, counselling, stress management, psychometrics or hypnotherapy help me?

A coach helps you develop the skills and attitudes required to help you get the best from your life. Together we will identify what might be stopping you from reaching your full potential, and what action you need to take to be the person you want to be.

Stress management is a method of identifying the things that are making you stressed, and working a solution out. MBTI can also be implemented to explore your preferences, and identifying the things that are making you stressed.

Psychometrics assessments can help with identifying your core abilities, or your personality type or traits. They can be used in some cases for assessment, as well as for future development.

Career coaching can help those that wish to make changes in their career, or in cases of redundancy MBTI can be employed to look at your preferred working styles. The Careers Questionnaire can identify your strengths and abilities.

I am an accredited Belbin administrator, which is often employed within teams; it identifies the different people that are required to make up a team. It can be employed with individuals to explore the type of team member that you are. It can however also be employed within teams to explore team dynamics.

Hypnotherapy can be a useful tool in stress management, and is also an excellent way of dealing with a number of problems, including phobias, habits you want to break, and anxiety issues.
