COACHING FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE, AS WELL AS PRACTICAL HELP WITH ANY

CRISES, TRANSITIONS, RECENT OR LONG-STANDING ISSUES.

Baruch Spinoza, in the 17th Century , wrote:

"What everyone wants from life is continuous and genuine happiness."

In the 20th century, John Lennon once said:

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."

As you go through life wishing for that genuine happiness, problems may arise. I can't promise happiness, but I can give you some tools and skills to help you cope with:

anger................................................................. health issues

anxiety............................................................... pain

addiction.............................................................relationships

bereavement......................................................sleeping difficulties

confusion...........................................................social discomfort

depression.........................................................uncertainty

disturbing memories..........................................workplace worries

                                 or anything else that is troubling you.

Life Coaching is my focus for everyone, with or without problems as exampled above.

Together, we will focus on achieving greater joy and sense of accomplishment, or work to alleviate distress over life events and problems which have disrupted your plans.

I have been a Clinical Psychologist for over 40 years, with experience helping people in many different settings.
