About
I am living proof that transformation is possible, no matter where you start. My journey from a challenging childhood in the care system, attending state schools, and leaving without formal qualifications to becoming a Certified Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy™, Life Coaching, and Hypnosis is a testament to the power of resilience and self-belief.
"The darkest hour has only sixty minutes." – Morris Mandel
Growing up, my emotions often felt overwhelming and uncontrollable. It was as though I was adrift in a sea of feelings, with no anchor to ground me. I believed that my happiness hinged entirely on external circumstances—whether it was the approval of others, success in school, or fleeting moments of recognition. This mindset cultivated a fragile sense of self-worth, rooted not within but in the unpredictable tides of life around me. As a result, I struggled with low self-esteem and an ever-present fear of failure, which cast long, lingering shadows over my early years.
This emotional turbulence seeped into my relationships, causing them to falter. I carried the heavy burden of believing I was unworthy of love and success, a belief that coloured my interactions and shaped my perspective on life. Every setback felt like confirmation of my deepest insecurities, reinforcing the walls I had built around my heart and potential.
However, it was in my darkest moments, when despair seemed insurmountable, that the spark of change ignited. Encouraged by a close friend’s genuine concern and unwavering support, I made the pivotal decision to seek help. This marked the beginning of a transformative journey. I immersed myself in cognitive behavioural therapy, delved into self-help books that explored the intricacies of the human mind, and ventured into the realms of psychology, self-hypnosis, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).
Through this exploration, I unearthed a profound truth that resonated deeply within me: "Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions." – Mahatma Gandhi. These words became a guiding light, illuminating the path towards self-discovery and healing. By identifying and challenging the limiting beliefs that had silently governed my life, I gradually began to rewrite my life’s narrative. Each small victory, each shift in perspective, was a testament to the power of resilience and self-awareness.
Today, I continue to nurture this growth, embracing the journey with compassion and curiosity. My story is no longer defined by fear and doubt but by the courage to change and the belief in my own worthiness. This transformation is not just a chapter of my past; it is an ongoing process, a testament to the enduring strength that lies within us all.
I learned to monitor my thoughts, embrace positive emotions, and visualise the life I desired. Each small victory—no matter how minor—became a beacon of hope. These milestones guided me through setbacks and opened doors I never thought possible. One such achievement was gaining acceptance to the University of Central Lancashire. There, I earned my Certificate for Higher Education of Achievement and pursued a combined Honours degree in Psychology and Psychotherapy.
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." – Winston Churchill
In 2018, with the generous support of my brother, I embarked on a transformative path to become a Certified Practitioner of NLP. Immersing myself in the training, I wove NLP strategies into my daily life—asking powerful questions, mastering my emotions, and making empowered decisions. This journey didn’t just change my life; it lit a fire within me to help others experience the same transformation.
Today, as a Certified Healer and Reiki Master, I blend techniques from Happiness, Forgiveness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and the Law of Attraction. My mission is clear: to inspire individuals to believe in their potential, regardless of their past.
I still face challenges, and there are moments of sadness. But I’ve learned: "It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters." – Epictetus. With a positive mindset and the right tools, we can create the life we deserve.
Beyond my professional journey, my passions lie in Psychology, Neuropsychology, the Sciences, Literature, Creative Writing, Art, 3D Design, Music, Languages (including French), Photography, Health and Wellbeing, and practising Tai Chi Chuan.
If my story resonates with you, let it be a reminder: "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." – C.S. Lewis. Your past does not define your future. Believe in the power within you to transform, grow, and shine.
