Face to Face

After having had 27 years of experience offering emotional support in various areas of voluntary work, I decided to stop and retrain in the Human Givens approach.

Since re-training as a psychotherapist between 2015 and 2016, I have built up a successful private practice.

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.
