"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure"
- Marianne Williamson
‘Authentic change’, is just that! – helping you to make your mind work for you, so you can be your most authentic self.
I provide specialist coaching and tailored interventions through the use of NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming), Hypnosis, Time-Line Insights Work, and NLP transformation and performance coaching.
I work with adults and young people (13+) from all walks of life. My expertise and speciality is providing essential 'support to the supporters'—practitioners, leaders and managers working in frontline services, commonly known in the UK as 'Blue Light' services.
Access me from anywhere across the globe, from the comfort of your own home or location of your choice. I can also work with you face to face, indoors or, the great outdoors where I draw my power and resilience from the environment around me and the animals and birds I share my life with. I am based in Somerset in the South West of England, UK.

My promise to you is to help you rewire your mindset and remove the barriers holding you back or stopping you from achieving your goals, whatever they might be. Whether you need help with strengthening your confidence and self-belief, reducing stress and anxiety or with the many other ‘side ballers’ that often come our way – I will help. Using a blend of Coaching with Hypnotherapy, NLP and Time-line techniques, these are immensely powerful tools for rapid, personal transformation and change. I also draw upon my experience of using other evidenced based techniques and interventions from my toolkit, including motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices.
I also offer longer term partnership coaching...to instil and embed sustainable change.

If for whatever reason I am not the right person for you, I will always help to signpost you to a more appropriate support service.
Helen is genuine and compassionate, has a natural warmth and really listens. There is no pressure or judgement and she has a good instinct to unpick issues and make them feel far more manageable. She made me feel totally at ease and comfortable with the NLP techniques and Timeline insight work we did, and ensured I understood how they worked and what to expect. I felt comfortable with them all and I have to say, their impact has been immense. I feel hugely better overall for working with her and she has also helped me ahead of some specific, very tough events and I managed them with a strength and resilience I have not felt for a long time. She is truly fabulous!

I went to Helen when I was encountering an issue with my business, she took me through wonderful NLP technique which was abstract and visual but she made me feel so comfortable and so at home the whole way through. The session felt absolutely transformational, she adapted the technique to suit what I needed and i left feeling lighter - its now a few weeks on and the difference she made in that session I am still feeling today! I am still feeling all the benefits and, the lightness and hopefulness that I got from her. If you are thinking of getting in touch with Helen she is an absolute gem!
Working with Helen has been a completely life changing experience!! Helen took her time asking questions and provided a safe comfortable environment - she’s very knowledgeable and understanding. Helen helped me to get back riding again after a huge loss in confidence. Looking back I can honestly say I didn’t think I would ever be able to ride my horse again! But she given me the tools to continue doing something I absolutely love! I’m back riding, feeling fantastic and anxiety free and I love it! I looked forward to our sessions and I have never felt so calm and confident. Helen has also worked with me around other health related changes, her work with me is making a massive difference to the quality of my life. I can highly recommend Helen 🩷

I would highly recommend Helen to someone who wants to try hypnotherapy and NLP to create positive change in their life. I was able to let go of old narratives that I held on to that were not useful going forward in my life. Helen’s warmth and pace allowed me to fully utilise the approaches and techniques she had designed specific to what I wanted to work on and to work on positive change. Helen was able to quickly adapt and modify approaches in response to my learning style. The exercises Helen showed me has greatly supported me to make changes in habits and thinking that I can continue to work on after our sessions. Helen is professional and focused yet is friendly and adaptable. Helens sessions are well planned and effective. Helen encouraged me to reflect on old patterns of thinking and views I held of myself which enabled me to understand what I really wanted to address. Thank you Helen
