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 have helped with many issues, including:

  • Fears, phobias, panic attacks
  • Anxiety, stress, depression
  • Weight loss, Hypno gastric band
  • Confidence, self-esteem
  • Habit change, feeling stuck
  • Public speaking, Exam anxiety
  • ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Menopause
  • 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:

  • 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 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 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.

About

Angela Wilshin


I'm Angela Wilshin, a Wellbeing, Life/ Business Coach & Hypnotherapist and the founder of Become Your Best. With more than 14 years’ experience in the fields of Positive Psychology (including Hypnotherapy, Coaching, Counselling, CBT and NLP). I run coaching/therapy 1:1 sessions with a limited number of private clients, to help them to live the lives they want, rather than hoping issues will sort themselves out, thinking in circles or being stuck in negative habits. I have also created unique personal development training through a dynamic, challenging and extremely effective series of workshops (for organizations) that are designed to deliver results.

My first career was as a Senior Systems Programmer in a global financial services company. After having children, I successfully retrained as a teacher, but became ill with Chronic Fatigue /ME. In order to restore my energy and fully recover, I realized I needed to radically change my response to stress and reduce my anxiety levels. So, I trained in Positive Psychology techniques to master stress management, change my mindset and coach myself to recovery. After experiencing their transformative effects in my own life and approach to work, I became passionate about helping others. It was this that led me to develop bespoke 1:1 sessions & wellness courses to assist individuals and organizations to improve quality of life and performance at work, of good mental health and positive self-awareness.

I have the following qualifications:

-Life & Business Coaching Certificate accredited by The Association for Coaching

-Hypnotherapist certificate accredited by The General Hypnotherapy Register

-NLP Practitioner Certificate accredited by The Association for NLP

-Licensed Hypno-Band Practitioner certified by The Hypno-Band Weight Loss organization

-I have trained at The Optimum Health Clinic, London in CFS/ME recovery, Stress and Anxiety

-Initial Post Professional Award in Counselling Skills awarded by Anglia Ruskin University

-Teaching Certificate from Trinity College, London

-BA (Hons) Degree from Keele University

-I hold an advanced DBS

I abide by the strict code of conduct of The General Hypnotherapy Register.

My favourite leisure activities for relaxation include: walking, cycling, netball and gardening.

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.

Services to Organizations/Businesses

  • Wellness workshops - online and in-house
  • 1:1 Coaching/therapy for employees
  • Weekly online stress management/relaxation sessions
  • Help to create/improve your Employee Wellness Programme


Services to Schools/Colleges/Universities

  • All those listed above
  • Wellness Workshops for staff and students aged 16+

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.
