How can I help such diverse problems as those listed above? Read on...
We often get stuck in a certain way of thinking or being, believing that there are no other options open to us. If you are also stressed or anxious, this can lead to tunnel thinking, stopping you from seeing the bigger picture or tapping into your mind's creative abilities and resourcefulness. I can help you to:
- Find exactly what you want (clients often know what they don't want)
- Clearly define your goal, so that your subconscious is on board
- Discover & overcome obstacles that have made you feel stuck
- Acknowledge and release unhelpful feelings
- Feel much calmer on a daily basis
- Understand & take control of anxiety/stress
- Restore confidence and self esteem
- Shift unwanted thought patterns, habits and behaviours
- Identify useful resources
- Live your best life now
My Approach
My approach is person-centred, which focusses on empathy & a non-judgemental approach. We all have a built-in motivation to reach our full potential, but may need help to escape unhelpful thinking patterns, overwhelming feelings, negative habits and other, similar, obstacles. My methods help you to design the life and outcomes you want, rather than hoping they will happen.
Everyone has challenges in life. We're all on a journey and sometimes we need help to weather the storm. Some of the issues I've experienced include: loss, anxiety, panic attack, fear of flying, post natal depression, bereavement, parenting stress, estrangement, low self-esteem, weight problems, chronic illness, menopause. I'm not unusual in facing these problems and, of course, I still face daily stresses, large and small. But I'm happy to say that my techniques have helped me to overcome these and enjoy life to the full. And I am passionate about helping as many people as I can to do the same. So, if you're having a hard time, do please get in touch sooner rather than later.

Weight Loss/ Gastric Hypno-Band
I'm passionate about helping women regain and keep their shape, escaping the emotional cycle of dieting. Diets don't work in the long run because they don't change your underlying unconscious habits. I developed my Become Your Best program, after using Positive Psychology techniques to tackle my own stubborn middle-aged spread. Since then, using my unique formula, I've helped countless women reach their goals and live healthier, happier
lives.
How come, no matter what I do, I always end up the same?
Sound familiar?
Well that was me, and this is why I'm so passionate about helping you get the figure you desire.
Weight Loss Reviews
"I really enjoyed being Angela's client. I'm not sure what she did or said that helped me, but I clearly remember that afterwards I felt so uplifted and full of hope. Since then I felt totally different about the whole issue (which used to be a big problem for me). Soon after the problem resolved itself."
Julie, London
"I am soon to attend my follow up session and have lost almost 2 stones. I highly recommend Angela's effective techniques."

"Thanks Angela, the sessions I had for my chronic pain helped me to relax and I felt so much better and I eat far less, which was my coping mechanism."
MM, Chelmsford
"I can't eat as much at each meal - it just fills me up. I've already lost half a stone, after 4 sessions and still going."
Kim, Brentwood
"I used to eat up to 4 bars of chocolate a day and a big Dairy Milk at the weekends - now I'm not bothered, I may have a bar a week ."
Jan Wilson, Braintree

Kim, Brentwood
"'I went to visit Angela at a time of considerable stress brought on mostly by pressures of work and endless demands on me from every angle. I was comfort eating to cope. The initial session enabled me to talk through these issues with a completely objective listener, and the subsequent sessions taught me a variety of techniques. I am already down one dress size! "
Lynne, Witham
“Angela is a fantastic wellbeing coach. Her workshop was very informative, fun and I think will really help me to change my mindset. The self-hypnosis was wonderful.”
Nadine Lewis, Online Entrepreneur, Chelmsford
“Angela was very informative and has excellent knowledge on techniques to improve and change mental wellbeing.”
Nicky Carrington, NHS, Chelmsford
If you're anything like me, you've worried about weight for most of your life. When I was young, I kept it off by diet and exercise. Then, after having kids, the pounds really piled on. I was the biggest I'd ever been, my self-esteem was at rock-bottom and I became anxious and easily stressed. I tried diets and slimming clubs, losing weight only to put it all back on again - making me feel even more of a failure.
Eventually, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME, so I trained as a Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner and Life Coach to help myself recover. I learnt powerful techniques to permanently change my unconscious habits, my mindset and put me in control of emotions and manage stress.
Once recovered, I applied my knowledge to my weight problem, dropping 3 dress sizes. Then, I hand-picked the best techniques to make the unique formula for my Become Your Best program.
You may lose weight on a diet by using your conscious will-power, but once finished, you return to your old habits and behaviours, which are running unchecked in your subconscious mind. My program tackles these from the start.
I research smart food choices and brief exercise tactics, including walking, to fit in with busy lifestyles.
Stress management is an essential component of any weight-loss program, as it causes tiredness and hunger, causing us to reach for high energy snacks.
All of these ingredients became my signature Become Your Best program.
I am fervent about sharing my knowledge with as many clients as possible, to free them from the emotional cycle of dieting and help them to take control of their lives. Over the years, I have helped people from all over the world, online and face to face at my consulting room in Chelmsford, Essex.
I'm nothing special, if I can make the changes, anyone can. Find out more about what I can do for you. Read On:
