Hello
I'm Chris.
I am happily married with two adult children, a son in law and a gorgeous dog who shows me every day how to live in the moment and find the joy.
​
I absolutely love to travel. I have a campervan and love van life in the sun.
I have lots of tattoos that all have very special meanings for me.
I love music and can often be found barefoot sitting a round a firepit.
I truly believe that life is a gift and that we shouldn't waste a moment of it being troubled, unhappy or in pain.
My Story
Hi. I'm Chris.
I am passionate about showing you how changing your mind can change you life.
I believe that our emotions are signposts to the thoughts that aren't working for us.
I know this to be true, because I've spent years working on my mindset as I've transformed from an anxious girl, to a confident women. A woman who is happy in my own skin, knows my worth and lives in alignment with the things that are important to me.
​
I know how exhausting the worrying and overthinking is. I know how they lead to comparing yourself to others and the impact that has on confidence and self esteem, because I have experienced the stress and overwhelm of living like this.
​
The difference now is that I know how to manage it so that it no longer controls my life.
​
Things changed for me when I discovered Mindfulness and began to take responsibility for my life because I started to understand that I could control my thoughts and emotions and this was a huge turning point.
My life changed so much and if I can do it, you can too.
​​​
My clients say that they choose me because I have the ability to see the heart of the issue and can create the right therapy plan for them .
I have over 25 years experience of supporting women. I have worked in education, the criminal justice system and coached refugees seeking asylum. I also offer support for improving wellbeing both at home and at work.​
​
I knew that I could help people, so I trained as a Trauma Informed Life & Mindset Therapist. I have a background in special needs and holistic therapies and I believe in an holistic approach to wellbeing.
​​
I specialise in helping you to manage and overcome anxiety, because I know that dealing with it can free you from the lack of confidence, burnout, and overwhelm that it can cause.
​
As an Holistic therapist, I soon realised that while my clients were enjoying their treatments, it was the opportunity to talk about the things that were bothering them in a safe space, that they really enjoyed. So I trained as a Life and Mindset Coach.
​
I then began to understand that it wasn't what was happening to them that was causing the problem, it was how they were thinking about it that was the issue. So I trained as a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Therapist.
It then became clear that some clients had trouble with letting things go and needed an effective tool that could help them to find a release. So I trained as an Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner.
​
When it became clear that some of my clients held deeply rooted beliefs and habits that were buried deep in their subconscious. I trained as a Clinical Hypnotherapist.
​
That's how my Life and Mindset Therapy was born.
​
Life and Mindset Therapy is my unique blend of: Trauma Informed Coaching, Counselling Skills, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT),Clinical Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) so that I can help you to heal at every level.
​
I am accredited by EMCC at Senior Practitioner level and I am a member of the Complementary Medicine Association (MCMA).
​
I look forward to working with you.
​Chris.
