Coaching and mentoring place the emphasis on solutions rather than focusing on a specific problem. A coach helps to identify desired outcomes and provides support, guidance and feedback to achieve them. A mentor listens, supports and shares their own knowledge and personal experience.

Yes, therapy deals with diagnosing and treating mental health issues and coaching is not a substitute for therapy. Therapy involves working with a licensed mental health professional to address psychological issues, emotional challenges and mental health conditions.

Sessions usually last between 45 minutes to an hour and can be conducted in-person (in Brighton and the surrounding area) or online via zoom. Each session is tailored to the individual’s specific needs.

The first session is usually an introductory meeting where we discuss your ideal outcomes, challenges, and expectations. It's an opportunity to see if we are a good fit and to outline a potential coaching and mentoring plan.

The session will include an overview of how Havening works and the science behind it.

We will then agree work that will be undertaken during the session, ending with a short check-in and discussion of next steps.

Absolutely. All information shared during coaching sessions is kept confidential, adhering to professional ethical standards. One of the benefits of Havening Techniques is that it is possible to work content free, meaning you do not have to disclose all the details of what you want to work on.

Havening is a psychosensory method anddoes not replace treatment by a medical practitioner.

Havening Techniques may be usefully applied alongside working with a qualified therapist.. Your therapist should always be consulted - you will be required to provide confirmation of this before we work together.

I offer services solely as a coach and Havening Techniques practitioner and our relationship is not to be construed as psychotherapy, psychological counseling, or any type of therapy.

I am not qualified to coach any person diagnosed as having a psychotic illness such as bipolar disorder, epilepsy or schizophrenia.

Generally clients experience positive outcomes and report resolution of the specific concerns within a single session. Clinical reports show no additional side-effects when the approach is used appropriately, but in some cases, when working on past trauma, it is possible to experience emotional distress and/or physical discomfort that can be perceived as negative. This is why we will always work at a pace that feels safe, comfortable and that reflects your current level of resilience.

Our rates vary depending on the type of coaching and the length of the engagement.

An introductory session generally costs £120 for 1 hour 30 minutes with subsequent sessions costing £80 for 50 minutes.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss packages or day-long intensives.
