Mission Statement

I believe that every person is born with the natural potential to enjoy life, regardless of their abilities (intellectual or physical) or their material circumstances (wealth, poverty, peace).

I believe that in our early years we create a life script that gives meaning to our experience. Our brain accepts this script as a true representation of the world and stores it in our subconscious. We then respond to what happens to us after this by trying to get it to fit with our existing script. This means responding in one of two ways: yes, it fits and therefore must be true, or no, it does not fit and therefore must be ignored or resisted. Many things – growing up, everyday change, traumatic or difficult experience – challenge the script but our brain does a great job in sticking to the original story. This is why we sometimes find ourselves stuck in patterns of behaviour, even when this behaviour is no longer helpful to us. This is why we say ‘I know this will happen’ or ‘I know what he/she will do now’. We become predictable because of the script.

Our script does more than tell us about ourselves; it tells about others too. We accept people who ‘fit ‘ into our story and try to avoid people that do not.

If we want to achieve long lasting change not only do we need to change our script but we also need to learn to accept people who will support our new reality and ignore the ones who will pull us back to the old one.

My approach is not just to look at difficulties or goals in isolation, but to explore how what you want fits in your life script. You can then develop some clarity around what you need to do so you can succeed in making changes. I look at this as a puzzle where everything is interconnected; moving one thing will effect another, so when you make one change you need to make sure that it doesn’t cause you to backtrack in another area of your life.

With my training and experience, I can offer support that is adapted this for your particular needs – whether this one to one, group work, self-guided support or intensive personalised support.
