Face to Face

Positive change is a counselling and coaching practice in Leicestershire to help people achieve a brighter future with a positive state of mind.

I have a diverse background, knowledge and experience in the field of health holding three health professional qualifications in Mental Health, Adult Health and as well as being a registered Midwif

I am a fully qualified Human Givens psychotherapist.

I am in private practice from my home in Nottingham. 

I have over 25 years experience in mental health and well-being.

Whilst my Human Givens journey began in 2009, my work in the field began 20 years prior. I have since taught Human Givens on a counselling skills diploma and worked as a therapist with adults, staff within organisations, teachers, parents, young people and children overseas as well as in the UK (particularly Sri Lanka). In private practice my strengths lie in flexibility and creativity - tailor-making my approach to each client. I use an eclectic approach within the Human Givens framework, knowing exactly why each varied and different technique can be effective in accordance with current neuroscience. 

I am a former Senior Director of a large software company. I am now a professional coach and psychotherapist who loves helping people resolve problems that are holding them back. I work on the basis that taking one small positive step often leads to much greater change that can transform lives. I work with a range of issues from people having a mid life crisis to helping teenagers and students with exam anxiety.

Many people experience emotional challenges at some point in their lives. With a little help, you can learn to feel calmer and see things from a different perspective.

I run face-to-face sessions in Yorkshire including in Leeds, York, Hull and Bridlington. I run online sessions wherever you are in the world. 

I have a deep understanding about mental health and wellbeing, and experience of working with people in tnany different situations in their lives. Clients feed back that I am calm, warm and approachable - that they feel accepted and comfortable being themselves. The approach aims to help people to overcome problems that might at first feel overwhelming, breaking down complex issues into practical, manageable steps. My goal is to build hope, motivation and a clear focus to achieve the positive changes that matter to you.
