What is
Voice Your Mind?
Voice Your Mind enables you to offload negative thoughts in a confidential, non-judgmental and safe way. As we work together, Voicing Your Mind facilitates a more positive and desirable behaviour, which quickly and painlessly moves you from your current stuck frame of mind, to where you want to be. It empowers you to respond better and more positively to situations, rather than react negatively and irrationally to things we ‘think’ are true.
What would you like to achieve as a future goal or outcome?
What would you like different in your life?
What would make life better for you?
​
-
A positive self-worth and self-esteem?
-
An improved social confidence?
-
A reduction of stress and anxiety?
-
Overcoming fears and phobias?
-
Reducing the effects of Trauma; PTSD
-
Taking control of addictive habits - anger, bingeing, smoking, nail biting, skin picking, comfort eating …..?
What gets in the way?
​
Usually a lack of self-esteem, lack of confidence, a feeling of being judged, not feeling good enough. All these, and more, can usually be traced back to childhood events, not necessarily trauma but silly, thoughtless things that our parents or teachers or even friends have said - 'your sister can do that, why can't you?' 'Why can't you get 11 out of 10?' 'No pain, no gain.' 'We're working class and not meant to have much money.'
No wonder we get screwed up. Our beliefs are formed by what our parents and other influencers around us believe. It's time to fight back, challenge their beliefs 'who said so?' be empowered and make informed decisions by questioning and then, move on.
​
I have both witnessed and experienced that in order to be a confident and self-loving person, the mind has to be in the right place for the body to do its thing and we cannot get the mind and body to work efficiently when there’s a perceived threat or danger. Our bodies protect us, and quite rightly so.

What Is
Complementary Coaching?
Well, in a nutshell, it concentrates on boosting a general sense of well-being by calming negative emotions and relieving anxiety. We know that positive emotions aid in improving health both physically, mentally, and emotionally, don’t we? We just need a bit of guidance to move us away from the brick walls that stop us from being empowered so we can make positive changes.
​
Complementary therapies can be 'stand alone' sessions or can work alongside conventional care that is provided by medical professionals. It is not a substitute for medical care or medication and if in doubt, always check with your GP.
​
Within our session we can just talk or, depending on your goals, and to give you a reboot, we can add any number of modalities to complement your healing, from hypnotherapy right through to vocal coaching. A great tool for performers, presenters, teachers, barristers...anyone who has anxiety getting up and delivering in front of others.
Psychological
Well-Being
There are six dimensions of psychological well-being in the first column.
But what of the opposites in the second column?
How many of the below resonate with you and your life?
Well-Being
-
Self-acceptance
-
Autonomy
-
Environmental mastery
-
Personal growth
-
Positive relationships
-
Purpose in life
Dis-Ease
-
Dislike of self, non self-acceptance
-
Feeling helpless, powerless
-
Too many outside events knocking you down
-
In a slump, stagnating
-
Not being true to yourself, pleasing others
-
Just existing day by day, floundering
If any of the above resonates in the Dis-ease side, it’s time to take back control of your life. I will give you the tools to realise your own potential. We are much more than we think but sometimes our reservoir of resources and resilience skills gets so low, it prevents us from making positive and effective decisions.
All those in the Dis-ease column have a knock-on effect and therefore ask yourself these:
​
-
Do I have low self-esteem?
-
Do I have mood swings and feel tearful?
-
Do I have low-quality sleep, live in the past, and can’t see my future clearly?
-
Do I have low energy?
-
Do I lack motivation and procrastinate?
-
Do I have a toxic work environment but can’t see my way out?
-
Do I have performance or social anxiety?
And most importantly...
Am I being the BEST VERSION of MYSELF?
​
If your mental well-being is low (at Dis-ease level) and you’d welcome learning how to give it that positive boost and gain resilience strategies, we can work together on a bespoke package.
What’s in your past?
Have you formed unhealthy habits and addictive behaviours over time, such as anger, overeating, too much media, binge drinking, not exercising enough, and smoking?
​
The problem is usually not where you think it is i.e. in the present. It’s often further back and formed around the age of six. It shows up in the present as multiples of issues but its root cause needs to be addressed, otherwise, unhealthy habits and negative mindsets will continue to control and limit us. We will sabotage our own personal growth.
​​
In my practising experience, the root causes have been:
​
-
Childhood trauma
-
Abuse - physical, sexual, and/or emotional
-
Neglect, abandonment, betrayal
-
Social isolation or loneliness
-
Experiencing bullying, stigma and discrimination
-
Social disadvantage, poverty, debt
-
Bereavement, grief, loss
-
Severe and long-term stress
-
Guilt, shame, anger
My Happy Clients
SELF-DISCOVERY
Simply put - Amanda has transformed my life and I wouldn't be where I am today without having gone through the remarkable journey of self-discovery and exploration with her! I have had many sessions of traditional talking therapy/counseling in the past and whilst it's great to understand the root causes for certain issues, meaningful change can't happen without the "so what?" part of the puzzle, which is where Amanda has so brilliantly stepped into my life. Through my sessions with Amanda, I have gained valuable insights, epiphanies, and light-bulb moments that resonated deep within me and most of all, I am now equipped with the tools to very easily help myself going forwards. Her compassion, empathy and almost 6th sense understanding of my needs have made the process of healing myself seamless. I intend to go back for further top-up sessions as and when needed but really, in a relatively short space of time, I have tackled some huge demons, which no longer play a part in my life - all thanks to Amanda, who is simply amazing!
