I am a Certified Trainer and a Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Time Line Therapy, Hypnosis, LAB (Language and Behaviour) Practitioner, and I am fully trained and accredited ‘Results' Coach. I am a practitioner of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) specialising in weight loss, pain control and stress management. My skills set also includes TA (Transactional Analysis) and Thought Enquiry.

My background is in further education and training. I hold certification in Training Practices and I am an associate member of the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) and a member of the ICF (International Coaching Federation).

I have twelve years experience as a Consultant, Trainer and Coach delivering courses in various aspects of the above. My clients are a cross section of society and include individuals and small and large business. They range from GlaxoSmithKline, ICI, the City of Edinburgh Council, the Forestry Commission, Standard Life, Scottish Widows, The Law Society of Scotland and Edinburgh and Dundee Universities.

As part of my ongoing commitment I organise and run the East of Scotland NLP Practice Group based in Edinburgh. I have also design and delivered a large number of public courses specifically on aspects of NLP, EFT and Thought Enquiry and I once ran a six week course on "Flirting" - now that was fun.

I have travelled round the world to learn from some of the leading gurus on human potential such as Anthony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Susan Jeffers, John Grey, Richard Bandler, Robert Dilts, Ken Blanchard, Neale Donald Walsh and Byron Katie.

I bring to all of my work a passion for improving communications within businesses and organisations, as well as at the individual level. I see myself as an "awareness raiser and people developer". With awareness comes choice and ultimately the possibility of change and growth. In supporting other people to be their best I have to lift myself to a higher standard. As I support others I create a win-win for me too. How's that for a great job?

Effective communication isn't just important,

effective communication is everything.
