Client Testimonials
‘Paul made me feel as if I had another person who truly cared about me getting better as much as I did myself but also actually had the knowledge and experience, I needed to do so. Paul taught me a lot about anxiety and mental health but more importantly, myself. I came to conclusions about my anxiety, character and relationships with Paul which I myself struggled to do after 20 years. Paul has an innate ability to help and view things with the perfect mix of objectiveness, care and knowledge from his field. I learned many techniques and skills with Paul which I will now carry with me for the rest of my life’.

EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that helps people process and reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories. It works by recalling difficult experiences while engaging in bilateral stimulation (guided eye movements or tapping), which helps the brain reprocess and 'unstick' those memories. It’s widely used for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, as well as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, grief, and trauma from abuse, accidents, or childhood experiences.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on negative thoughts, feelings and behaviour cycles that cause distress. CBT is a structured approach and is aimed at particular problems. Often, intervention can be brief or take place over a longer period depending on the nature of the problem. CBT has a strong evidence base for effectiveness for Depression, Anxiety, Panic, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) among other problems.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a mind-body intervention in which hypnosis is used to create a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility in the treatment of a medical or psychological disorder or concern. Hypnosis will lead you into a deeply relaxed state, use your agreed methods to help you towards your goals. During Hypnosis you will be in a trance state, remain awake, be aware of your surrounding, and what is happening. It is important to note that you will remain in control and can end the trance/session at any time.

Reflect + Grow Programme
Pause. Reflect. Grow.
A six-week guided wellbeing programme
You don't need to have all the answers. You need space to find them.
Life has a way of pulling us from one responsibility to the next. We keep going because we have to, often putting ourselves
at the bottom of the list.
This programme offers something different.
A regular space each week to pause, step back from the demands of everyday life, and reconnect with yourself in a supportive,
welcoming environment.
Over six weekly sessions, you'll work through a structured programme that combines psychological insight, CBT, NLP, Mindfulness, Hypnotherapy and Coaching, not as separate techniques, but as a carefully designed journey that helps you better understand yourself, develop healthier ways of thinking,
and build practical strategies for lasting wellbeing.
You'll leave with more than a collection of tools. You'll leave with greater self-awareness, renewed confidence, and practical techniques you can continue
using long after the programme has finished.
What the programme covers
Pause – Mindfulness and guided reflection to slow the noise, create space, and reconnect with the present moment.
Reflect – CBT and psychological insight to recognise unhelpful thinking patterns, understand emotional responses, and develop healthier perspectives.
Grow – Coaching, NLP and Hypnotherapy to strengthen confidence, build resilience, clarify what matters most, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
Each week explores a different aspect of wellbeing, including:
-
Managing Stress and Overwhelm
-
Building Self-Confidence
-
Letting Go of Self-Doubt
-
Understanding Anxiety
-
Developing Self-Compassion
-
Building Emotional Resilience
Together we'll explore practical strategies, guided exercises and reflective conversations designed to help you navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, confidence and self-awareness.
Is this for you?
If life feels busy, overwhelming or you're simply aware that you've been putting yourself last, then yes.
Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, self-doubt, a significant life change, or simply want dedicated time to focus on your own wellbeing, this programme offers the opportunity to pause before life forces you to.
No previous experience is needed, and there is never any pressure to share more than you feel comfortable sharing.
Simply come as you are.

Retreat
Pause, Reset, Reconnect
A half-day wellbeing retreat
You don't need more advice. You need space.
Most of us aren't short on information about how to feel better. We're short on time, headspace and permission to do something about it.
This retreat gives you that space outdoors, away from screens and schedules, in a setting designed to help you slow down before you can
think of a reason not to.
Over half a day, you'll work through a structured programme that combines CBT, NLP, EFT, Mindfulness, Hypnotherapy and Coaching not as a checklist of techniques, but as a coherent journey from overwhelmed to clear-headed.
You'll leave with more than a sense of calm. You'll leave knowing what shifted, why it shifted, and how to recreate it yourself.
What the day covers
Pause - Mindfulness practices to settle the noise and bring you back to the present.
Reset - CBT and EFT tools to understand your stress patterns, release emotional pressure and challenge the thinking that keeps you stuck.
Reconnect - NLP, Hypnotherapy and Coaching to rediscover what matters to you and build a clear, realistic plan for moving forward.
Is this for you?
If you're carrying more than you're letting on whether that's burnout, a life transition, low-level anxiety or simply the accumulative weight of a busy life - yes.
No prior experience of any of these techniques is needed. Come as you are.
The detail
Date and Times to be confirmed. Half day. Small group, intentionally so.
Your investment is £30 for this first cohort, in exchange for an honest testimonial and a social share. That's the deal straightforward, no strings.

Workplace Well-being Sessions
Reflect. Grow. Perform.
A Half-Day Workplace Wellbeing Experience
Your people don't need another presentation. They need space.
Today's workplaces ask a lot of people. Constant demands, competing priorities and continuous change can leave even the most
capable employees feeling stretched, distracted and running on empty.
This half-day experience creates the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, pause, reflect, and develop practical skills that support both personal wellbeing and workplace performance.
Over half a day, your team will work through a structured programme that combines psychological insight, CBT, NLP, EFT, Mindfulness, Hypnotherapy and Coaching, not as a collection of wellbeing techniques, but as a practical journey that helps people understand how they respond to pressure, build resilience, improve communication and perform more effectively.
Participants leave with more than an enjoyable wellbeing session. They leave with greater self-awareness, practical strategies they can use immediately, and a clearer understanding of how to support both their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around them.
What the session covers
Reflect – Mindfulness and guided reflection to create space, improve focus and reduce mental overload.
Grow – CBT and EFT techniques to better understand stress, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and respond more effectively under pressure.
Perform – Coaching, NLP and Hypnotherapy to strengthen confidence, improve communication, build resilience and develop healthier habits that support long-term performance.
Topics may include:
-
Managing stress and preventing burnout
-
Building resilience and emotional wellbeing
-
Developing confidence and self-awareness
-
Managing pressure while maintaining focus
-
Improving communication and working relationships
-
Creating sustainable habits that support wellbeing and performance
Is this for your team?
If your people are navigating increasing workloads, organisational change, competing priorities or the everyday pressures of modern working life, then yes.
Whether you're investing in staff wellbeing, supporting leadership development, strengthening team culture or simply giving your employees permission to pause, this session provides practical tools that continue long after the day itself.
No previous experience is needed, and there is never any pressure for participants to share personal experiences. Everyone is encouraged to engage in the way that feels right for them.
