I have spent most of my working life as an estate agent, running my own business since 1998. Previously I have been a publican, a banker, a door-to-door salesman and a few other things.

Together with my wife, a nurse, I have two fantastic adult children, a three-legged cat (Milo) and a husky dog (Nala). We have worked and lived in Aylesbury most of our lives, my son now lives in Sydney, Australia with his wife and daughter.

I was first introduced to a limited form of NLP by Simon Edwards about 20 years ago. The insights and practical methods it provides have since fascinated me. In 2013 I met Gemma Bailey at an introductory day for her business NLP4kids. Since then I have been hooked, qualifying as an NLP practitioner early in 2017. I have since qualified to become a licensed NLP4kids practitioner and subsequently a Master Practitioner and Hypnotherapist.

In conjunction with NLP4Kids, Aylesbury Therapy for Kids run workshops in schools for children, parents and or teachers. These same workshops can also be helpful for parents in or out of the school environment. In many cases one to one therapy sessions can be held for children within the school but I also work with children offering therapy on a one-to-one basis having been contacted directly by parents.

I also work with companies offering training and coaching across a range of soft skills.

Further I work with adults, age is no barrier, my oldest client to date was 82!

As an experienced businessman I am used to identifying and finding answers for situations of all kinds. I get to the root of issues swiftly using this practical approach. Throughout my time in business, I have frequently seen the difficulties caused by unaddressed issues. When dealing with staff and clients alike I have had to resolve deep rooted misconceptions. Challenging behaviour is often borne out of childhood experiences.

Established programmes are used to help manage your emotional state and to become inspired and motivated by the opportunity’s life presents to you. I teach you how to build valuable relationships, confidence, self-esteem and how to eliminate troubling past events. Every person has the right to reach their potential. Through the coaching and NLP techniques I use you can reap huge rewards for yourselves, your family and those around you.

Working with People Building allows me to expand my work with adults. Thanks to the upsurge in platforms such as Zoom your location is no barrier to our working together.

I look forward to meeting you.

How Can Our Therapy & Coaching Help You?

NLP therapy, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming therapy, is a powerful approach that can help individuals transform their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It is a form of psychological counseling that focuses on the connection between our neurology (how our brain works), language (how we communicate with ourselves and others), and programming (the patterns of behavior we have learned).

NLP coaching can assist individuals in various ways. Firstly, it helps people gain a deeper understanding of their own thought patterns and belief systems. By identifying and challenging negative or limiting beliefs, individuals can reshape their thinking and create more positive and empowering beliefs.

NLP can equip individuals with effective communication skills. It helps improve interpersonal relationships by enhancing one's ability to understand and connect with others. By learning to communicate more effectively, individuals can build healthier and more satisfying relationships.

Coaching and therapy with NLP aids in managing emotions and promoting emotional well-being. It provides techniques for regulating emotions, overcoming fears and phobias, and reducing anxiety and stress. Through NLP techniques such as anchoring and reframing, individuals can reframe negative experiences and develop more resourceful emotional states.

Moreover, NLP coaching can be helpful in overcoming unwanted habits or behaviours. By identifying the triggers and patterns associated with these behaviours, individuals can learn strategies to break free from them and develop healthier habits.

Our therapy offers a holistic and practical approach to personal growth and transformation. It can help individuals gain self-awareness, improve communication, manage emotions, and overcome unwanted behaviours. With the guidance of a skilled NLP therapist, individuals can tap into their full potential and live a more fulfilling and empowered life.

Our practitioners are often trained in other disciplines such as Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychology, and Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) are all different approaches to understanding and addressing mental and emotional well-being.

Counselling is a broad term that refers to the process of providing guidance and support to individuals facing personal, emotional, or psychological challenges. Counsellors provide a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. They use various therapeutic techniques to help individuals gain insight, cope with difficulties, and make positive changes in their lives.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, is a specific type of counselling that focuses on the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It is based on the idea that our thoughts influence our feelings and actions. CBT therapists work with individuals to identify and challenge negative or unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more positive and constructive ones. This approach can be effective in treating a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and phobias.

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Psychologists use various research methods and theories to understand how people think, feel, and behave. They apply this knowledge to help individuals improve their mental health and well-being. Psychologists may use different therapeutic approaches, such as counselling, CBT, or other evidence-based treatments, depending on the needs of their clients.

IEMT, or Integral Eye Movement Therapy, is a relatively newer therapeutic approach that focuses on resolving emotional issues by working with eye movements. It involves guiding clients to move their eyes in specific patterns while recalling and processing distressing memories or emotions. IEMT aims to create new insights and release negative emotional patterns associated with past experiences. It can be particularly helpful in addressing trauma, phobias, and emotional disturbances.
