My mission is to make a difference in people’s lives, especially for those who already face so many challenges dealing with routines and daily tasks. The tools I am able to teach people to learn will help minimise the challenges they face and help them to cope better in everyday life. I find this approach works best when everyone involved in a persons life, works together to help implement change and I help to facilitate this to happen by liaising and communicating with everyone.
My goal is to give children/ adults and families the right strategies and tools to make living in our complicated world a bit easier to understand and deal with.
Hi I’m Charlie and I have recently taken part in a workshop called ‘a taster of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Emotional Freedom Techniques’. The workshop was very engaging, active, and enjoyable. I found it very interested and relevant to the children with special needs that I work with. It has also widened my knowledge into what other factors contribute to challenging behaviour and the fun engaging activities were really beneficial making it easy to learn.
Form starting the workshop with no prior knowledge or experience of NLP and EFT, I have definitely gained an insight into both techniques and would recommend the workshop to any who are interested in this field and/or are involved with children and families with learning disabilities.
After another short break, we repeated the process (image 6) but Client A said something wasn’t right so drew another picture (image 7). Whilst he was drawing, Client A said, ‘It’s OK, I don’t have to eat it, the yoghurt’s in the fridge.’ As before, I was tapping on him, repeating his words and offering reassurance.
After he’d finished drawing his final picture, we continued to tap on his happy picture and talk about the things he liked and that made him happy – superman, jazz music – before rounding off the session with 7/11 breathing.
This was an intense 2-hour session but the results were incredible – just look at the difference between images 3 and 7. In the short video below, you can hear Client A talk about the transformation in himself.
As a therapist, my approach is always client-centric and the different techniques I use are based on my assessment of individual client needs and situations. I offer a totally bespoke service, taking the time to listen to and understand my clients – I don’t believe in ‘one size fits all’.
If you need support with phobias or challenging behaviour, please book a call so we can discuss a solution that’s right for you.
