Wellness for Organisations
We Don't Just Inform, We Transform
Due to the fast pace of our modern technological age, many people feel anxious or stressed, juggling many roles at once, which affects them at home and at work, having an impact on mental health and performance.
Understandably, they may struggle and need help on their journey.
Many organisations offer staff access to online wellness courses, however the impact of these is minimal compared to an interactive workshop/coaching session with an experienced coach/therapist. Previous attendees have agreed that my workshops/Coaching sessions have helped to transform their lives as they get to practice my techniques with me and ask questions during and after the sessions.

Our Workshops
Our workshops are fully interactive and dynamic, allowing attendees to practice techniques and ask questions, during & after, plus handouts covering all techniques. See more reasons to choose us.
A de-stressed, knowledgeable and happy workforce is far more productive, communicative, healthier and innovative. Every position in every organisation has its own particular set of challenges and pressures. And every person employed within an organisation can be subject to stresses and strains – in their personal lives as well as in the workplace – which have the potential to affect their levels of concentration and performance. This has been exacerbated by the disruption to routines and practices wrought by the pandemic of recent years, with extensive evidence of individuals in different circumstances have been impacted in widely varying ways. The progressive employer has the opportunity to safeguard the wellbeing of its workforce while, at the same time, enhancing workplace performance, by incorporating an advanced approach to mind-wellness into its staff improvement strategy.

Personal 1:1 Sessions
Due to the fast pace of our modern technological age, many people feel anxious or stressed, juggling many problems at once, which can have a huge impact on mental health. Understandably, they may struggle and need help on their journey. With 1:1 clients, I offer bespoke sessions, tailored to their specific problems. I help with many issues, including:
- Fears, phobias, panic attacks
- Anxiety, stress, depression
- Weight loss, Hypno gastric band
- Confidence, self-esteem
- Menopause
- Habit change, feeling stuck
- Public speaking
- ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Sleep
- & more
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:
- Ascertain exactly what you reallly want (clients usually 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 in the past
- 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 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 and I still face stresses, large and small. But I'm happy to say that my techniques 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.

"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."

"'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. The initial session enabled me to talk through these issues with a completely objective listener, and the subsequent sessions taught me a variety of coping techniques which have proved helpful and easy to remember."
Kim, Brentwood
"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."
