Programme Information

I have many years of experience in providing training and one to one support in the area of personal development. I find it a fascinating, exciting and inspirational area to work in as I support some already exceptional people in the development of new skills and new perspectives.

You can access any of the following programmes as one to one sessions in my personal development / therapy room at my home or through workshops which will be advertised from time to time. I also provide tailored training in personal development for the workplace. See www.branchoutlearning.co.uk

Counselling and Life Coaching can be delivered through face to face sessions or by a mixture of meetings, telephone calls and emails.

Information on all the programmes I offer follows on. Please also check the Workshops section to see what is available just now.

SPIRITUAL COACHING

This is a holistic approach to personal coaching. The idea is that we address your issues and needs from a spiritual perspective - as well as an emotional and mental one. So, for example, we may use traditional coaching techniques to help you prioritise aspects of a problem, then we might use an experiential technique drawn from Louise Hay's work to help you uncover your emotional issues, perhaps even including some inner child work. We might then decide to do some spiritual healing to build up your chakras and energy levels - before using life coaching techniques to formulate a plan of action.

COUNSELLING

We all have issues to deal with at some point in our lives when we may feel unable to cope, stuck, abandoned, hurt, angry or lost. Counselling does not provide you with a neat easy solution to life's problems - but what it can do is give you time out to reflect and think clearly with an impartial skilled listener. You will develop deeper understandings as your perceptions shift or strengthen until you feel able to focus on your life with clarity and confidence.

I offer counselling in:

• life changes / stress
• redundancy / career issues
• anxiety / depression / M.E.
• self esteem / personal issues
• relationships
• bereavement / loss / death of pet.

I am a member of CCC and follow their Code of Conduct.

LIFE COACHING

Life coaching is a partnership designed to make use of the knowledge, information, synergy, and talents people bring to the problem solving process. Coaching provides a confidential, non-judgemental, impartial and completely personalised support structure that enables an individual to achieve far more.

The aim of the coach is to:

• challenge existing thinking
• develop new thinking
• clarify ambitions
• set compelling and achievable goals
• provide motivation, focus and help with overcoming obstacles
• be a powerful learning tool for change.
  

COLOUR THERAPY

Colour Analysis

According to our skin tone and hair colour, colours that relate to one of the four seasons complement each one of us. So an autumn person would look stunning in the colours of gold, green, brown and orange. Find out what your season is and learn how to make the most of your appearance.

Colour Reflection Readings

Colours you choose from a set of cards are used to provide insights into your life and help interpret your personality traits. Amazingly accurate this activity is revealing, uplifting and fun.

Colour Counselling and Therapy

Colours are used to provide the stimulus for in-depth counselling sessions, light therapy, spinal chart dowsing, chakra balancing and holistic healing.

FENG SHUI

The ancient art of Feng Shui consists of an integrated approach to creating balance and harmony in our lives. It is based on the belief that we can analyse and adjust the energy flow in our surroundings for positive results.

Form School

An analysis of the exterior of your home based on the shape and design of your home and its location in the immediate environment.

Compass School

Anaysis of the interior of your home based on the use of Ba Gua which relates different areas of your life ( like career, relationships, health) to different areas and features within your home.

Chinese Astology

A Personal Profile based on Nine Star Ki analysis which reveals your essential nature, elemental composition, predictions for the current year and future life cycles.

REIKI

Reiki is a loving Universal Energy which flows from the Source to support healing wherever it is needed. Reiki practitioners transmit this energy by the laying on of hands and the intention to allow it to flow. It is a wonderfully gentle loving energy which supports and activates the body's natural ability to heal itself. This simple and pleasant holistic healing method works on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels by going beyond symptoms to the root of the dis-ease.

• Reiki can help to relieve pain and helps to relax, vitalise and balance glands and bodily functions. It can loosen blocked energy, re-establish spiritual equilibrium and even enhance creativity.
• Hands can be laid on or over a person or pet. It is not an intrusive process. The gentle healing energy will feel warm and comforting. Reiki treatments are always beneficial to both people and pets.

ANGELS, MEDIUMS AND CRYSTALS

Guidance from the Angels

Together we will consult a spread of cards, interpreting the results so that you gain greater clarity, support and strength in relation to a particular issue you have. We will use the insights we discover as the stimulus for a completely confidential counselling session. When we seek help the Angels always guide and support us in loving and healing ways.

Working with Crystals

Crystals can be used to protect and inspire you. After discussion on your own individual needs you will have the opportunity to intuitively select your own crystal, and be provided with advice on the most appropriate crystals to draw on in your own situation.

Mediumship

The work of mediums is to demonstrate that our spirits continue to exist after death. Mediums do this through processes such as clairvoyance or clairaudience. In some cases a message can help a person to move forward in their life as they move towards acceptance of their loss and re-integration into their present circumstances.

WORK BASED TRAINING

(See www.branchoutlearning.co.uk)

Emotional Intelligence

• Self awareness / control
• Resilience under pressure
• Relationships of trust and credibility
• Tension resolution

Sensitivity, skills and new perspectives are developed in order to improve working relationships.

Assertiveness

Training in assertiveness aims to help people identify patterns of behaviour that contribute to difficulties in communicating effectively with others and to then explore different strategies for changing the negative behaviour in those and other similar situations.

• Identify assertive, aggressive & passive thought and behaviour patterns
• Rights and responsibilities
• Saying "no"
• Dealing with criticism
• Body language / non-verbal communication
• Managing change and assertiveness

Stress Management

While stress up to a certain point can be positive, uncontrolled stress for a prolonged period of time can seriously damage your mental and physical well being. Stress affects individuals. It also affects organisations.

• Identify skills and strategies to manage stress
• Develop thinking skills to reduce pressure
• Look at behavioural skills and understand the impact of responses / learn adjustments you can make
• Develop organisational skills
• Physical approaches – become fit to manage stress
• Look at lifestyle skills and increase your resilience to stress.

Stress management can be tackled at an individual level, a team level or through a corporate approach.
