Sometimes we get stuck

It might be a behaviour you can’t seem to change, a fear that limits what you do, a loss of confidence, or simply the sense that the way you’ve always approached something isn’t working anymore.

In business, the same thing happens. Communication breaks down. Teams become less effective. Leaders struggle to influence. Sales conversations stall. Change creates resistance.

My work is about helping people change those patterns - practically, purposefully and with an outcome in mind.

“You inspire me to be better at anything I do and see things from a different perspective.” - Barbara R.

How I work

I’m a Trainer, Practitioner and Master Practitioner of NLP, Hypnosis and Time-Line Therapy, with more than 20 years’ experience working with individuals, leaders and businesses.

I’m not a life coach, and I don’t believe in endlessly talking around a problem.

Instead, I help clients understand what’s getting in the way, challenge the thinking or behaviour that maintains it, and develop more useful ways of responding.

That can be challenging. I regularly ask clients to go beyond what feels familiar or comfortable. But there is always a purpose: meaningful change that makes a difference outside the training room.

“Thank you for believing in me.” - Jessica E.

Personal Development & Change

People come to me when there is something they want to change, overcome or do differently.

That has included helping clients to:

• overcome fears and phobias;

• change unwanted habits and behaviours;

• challenge limiting beliefs and recurring thought patterns;

• manage difficult emotions such as anger, sadness, regret and loss;

• rebuild confidence;

• communicate more effectively;

• approach difficult situations differently; and

• get past something that has been holding them back.

Sometimes the issue is significant. Sometimes it is surprisingly specific - including one memorable fear of motorway driving.

What matters isn’t how unusual the problem sounds. It’s the impact it is having on your life and what you’d rather be able to do instead.

“It was just the pick-me-up I didn’t even know I needed.” - Michelle P.

Business, Leadership & Teams

My business work combines NLP with more than two decades of practical commercial, leadership and brand experience.

I work with individuals and teams to improve the way they communicate, influence, lead, sell, negotiate and respond to change.

Areas I regularly work with include:

• leadership, mentoring and management development;

• confident speaking and presenting;

• communication and influencing skills;

• negotiation, mediation and conflict resolution;

• sales, relationship building and commercial conversations;

• creative thinking and problem solving;

• team effectiveness;

• brand values and organisational culture;

• change management; and

• employee engagement and onboarding.

The objective isn’t to teach people a collection of NLP techniques for the sake of it. It’s to use the most useful tools to create better performance in the real world.

“Simon was absolutely amazing and the team continues to talk on a daily basis about their experiences from the training.” - Robbie S.

“I can categorically say I have never been through such a mentally intensive workshop in my life.” - Adam R.

“I am not only impressed by the results but also by the 100% enthusiasm for more NLP training.”- Maria H.
