Elaine Jones

I have worked in supportive and therapeutic settings within the NHS for 25 years. Coaching and NLP have given me the tools for change I always dreamed of. I am a nurse practitioner and maintain my registration and I am actively involved in research to find practical ways to use coaching and NLP for clients searching for a way forward to change health behaviours.

I love working with clients who feel stuck and overwhelmed, and watching the transformation as they find solutions and insights that move them forwards to a better place. I have experience of working with clients with unexpected and challenging chronic disease, and working with goals and beliefs to find the small changes that make all the difference. I have worked with clients who are looking to change health behaviours and I embrace opportunities to help those clients find their inner strength and motivation. I enjoy tackling business goals and digging out limiting beliefs which can hamper business development, impacting growth. I am comfortable working with teams, exploring team dynamics and the ebb and flow of work/life balance.

Holistic goal setting which includes work / business and relationship goals

I am completely non-judgemental and I have considerable experience working in the NHS with people who have experienced health problems which have been impacted by lifestyle choices, including alcohol. I believe that anyone can make a change, and that the way forward is always empowerment, finding a door to open that will allow a client to see their own potential.

Working with me gives clients an opportunity to enter a space where they are able to see their true potential. We can create the future that they have been unable to visualise or express, and begin to work towards it. The most likely benefit is a wave of empowerment, followed by an increased joy in everyday life. This is the feedback I have had from previous clients.

Life coaching with elements of NLP. We will explore goals and search for obstacles and limiting beliefs. There may be some gentle but challenging questions in a supportive and safe environment. There is no failure, only feedback! I aim for a 60 minute assessment session followed by 45 minute follow-ups. Sometimes 2-3 sessions is enough, sometimes it takes a little longer. I am guided by the client, there is no pressure.

I offer taster sessions to see if we are a good fit.

This service is a good fit for anyone who wants to explore new goals and actively work on solutions to make them happen. We can deal with difficult emotions and beliefs as we move through, but this is not therapy. If anyone feels that they need counselling or other therapy, then this would not be the right route.
