Counselling and Psychotherapy
I work with men and women individually, as well as couples. Therapy offers a space to explore feelings, emotions and experiences - sometimes in relation to a crisis, at other times in relation to life not quite working as well as you want. It's an investment in a professional, boundaried relationship which can be used as a foundation to explore the aspects of you, especially the ones you don't particuarly like, try new things in your life and understand why you've been doing what you've been doing, so that your new life doesn't unwind. |

Coaching
What's the difference between coaching and psychotherapy? Basically it's more focused around a very defined goal. It's still a space to explore, but it's more results focused, more looking at trying to give strategies that will stop a certain way of being, or enhance something. It's also far more likely to be time limited than therapy. |

Communication Training
Under pressure, whether that's at work, on a date or giving a wedding speech, we can be less than ourselves. In my experience this is down to how we speak to ourselves as much as it is down to technique. I've developed a training in communication skills. I'm not unique in this, there are lots of different options out there, but mine is based on giving you results that stand the test of time, rather than are forgotten within a month. Training can be done individually, in a group or as a series of focused coaching sessions. |
What some of my coaching clients have said....
"It has helped me to become self aware when talking to others and giving presentations so very good tools and self reflection have come from attending this training. Ben the trainer is great"
Anita, Chief Executive
"Ben gives simple pointers to help you improve"
Charis, Assistant Manager
"It was fun, interesting and made me actively think about the way I present myself when communicating. I felt like Ben encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and provided with techniques that are relevant and easy to apply to my day to day job."
Matt, Communications and Administrative Officer
"Whilst the feedback provided by Ben focused on my individual strengths (which helped to build my confidence) it also helped me to understand the areas that I can be stronger in and how I can practically achieve this. The trainer created a safe environment to test presentation skills and reflect on how I am perceived by others - I found this insightful and liberating. Thank you Ben!"
Sarah, Charity fundraiser
"Definitely get in touch with Ben if you have a big interview looming and want to speak with confidence, communicate more effectively and enhance your personal impact."
Anon, Executive Assistant
"The training was really interesting and quite different to training I have had previously on similar subjects. I felt really engaged the whole way through which I often don't when I go on training! The training really highlighted my limitations in communicating my message to audience but also highlighted my strengths. I will definitely use the feedback I got from both the trainer (Ben - who was excellent) and my fellow trainees to inform how I communicate in business settings from now on."
Olivia, Counselling Service Coordinator
"It gives you the opportunity to reflect upon your communication skills. I enjoyed it and found it very useful, it gave me different perspective."
