Coaching and Mentoring for
Professionals and Businesses
Stress and anxiety related illnesses are fast becoming one of the most destructive forces for employees and businesses with its effects being responsible for over 60% of absenteeism and loss of productivity. This has been confirmed by a number of reports and research including:
- The LSE Depression Report 2006, led by Professor Lord Layard in the most thorough investigation of mental health in the UK to date.
- Business in the Community Health and Wellbeing
- The Business action on health Report by Louise Aston, 2008.
- The latest research by MIND on Mental health and business, Sue Temple 2008.
- the Development Centre London on Business effectiveness and mental health promotion 2008.
Stress and related issues are proven to be costly, time consuming and with negative knock-on effects throughout whole teams.
The coaching program for professional development is tailored around individual needs for the improvement of work related issues. My therapeutic and creative management expertise enables clients to experience new ways of behaviour, motivation, focus and job satisfaction thereby instilling in them the desire and the capability to play an active, positive role in their workplace.
The therapeutic sessions identify the roots of unwanted symptoms and behaviourism which can restrict team members in developing their full potential in the work place and in their private lives. It takes personal conflicts to a deeper level and deals with them consciously in order to achieve a more balanced and confident personality. The programme allows the client to gain a realistic sense of acceptance and control over their emotions and behaviour and to adopt enjoyable and effective ways in which to communicate and achieve his or her full potential.

In particular, try out their Business HealthCheck tool for evaluating the costs of ill-health and the benefits of wellness programs.
