Techniques used
As a Personal Change Mentor, I use a variety of skills:
- Life Coaching: this helps with the whole process of setting goals, working through issues and developing next steps.
- Kinesiology:
- To bypass your blocked logical mind and to access the mental and emotional hidden patterns, core beliefs etc, that are no longer helping you.
- To help reduce / remove mental and emotional stress in different parts of you body and brain.
- To identify tools that you can use in a self-help capacity.
- Neuor-Linguistic Programming (NLP): to help with shifting blocked ideas / emotions and replacing them with information / ideas that are more aligned to your goals.
What?
I am offering online sessions to help you identify what is holding you back or causing you to over-react. Help you understand the often sub-conscious blocker, reduce some of the stress linked to it, and find a self-help way forward.

Before Session
Once you have used the online booking form to schedule an appointment, you will receive a link to the zoom meeting and some simple instructions.
Bring your shopping list
Take time to think about the list of things you would like to work on:
• Is there something bothering you?
• Do you want to work towards something and need a little help?
• Have you had a recent situation that you are struggling to come to terms with?
We will use this list as a starting point to establish the priority for the session.
Make time for yourself
You are often multi-tasking during your day to get everything done. This is one time, when you need to put everything else aside and focus on you. So make sure you find a location where you won’t be disrupted. Let people know you are unavailable, just as you would be if you went to see the doctor or specialist. The less agitated and distracted you are, the more benefit you will derive from the session.
Hydrate
Everything works better with some water. Make sure you are hydrated before the session and have a glass with you, that you can sip on if you need.
During The Session
The recommended session length is an hour.
Explanation:
Some of the techniques that I use are not well known in the broader community, so the first part of the introductory session explains the process and the techniques that will be used during the session.
Goal Setting:
We discuss what you want to focus on, sometimes bringing a shopping list of topics is a good idea to help us establish the priority topic. Sometimes the goal is a combination of a few issues. This discussion leads to establishing the session goal that we will work on.
Barrier Identification:
Techniques are used to identify relevant information related to your goal, such as opinions and beliefs that are blocking you from moving towards your goal. Some of the information you may already be aware of, but hadn’t realised the impact it was having, or it may be new information that you were not aware of. During this process of identifying stresses and blockers we use some Kinesiology techniques.
Stress Reduction:
As stressors and issues are identified we may use Kinesiology techniques to reduce the build-up of stress as we move through the session or deal with them near the end.
These techniques use acupressure points that link to areas of stored stress and help to diffuse the stress.
Self-Help Strategies:
At the end of the session, we Identify personalized strategies for you to work on, until the next session. These are actions that you can take to continue working towards your goal. This can take the form of an affirmation to replace a concept that is not working for you, with one that helps you move towards your goal.
After the session
You will be sent an email summary of your goals and self-help activities for continued progress.
Some issues change quickly and you feel / see some immediate wins.
Other issues take more determination and commitment before the changes are obvious.
In some cases, others notice the changes before you do.
