Guy and Jen's proven expertise in business, education, and coaching offers an optimal blend of challenge and support to assess the current situation, specify desired outcomes, agree compelling goals, and take ownership of the immediate next steps. Our coaching style draws upon our professional experience, specialist coaching techniques, and is delivered in a collaborative, confidential, and non-judgemental way.

Valuable coaching techniques applied include…

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
- NLP is the science of personal achievement and behavioural change, and it is sometimes known as 'Success Psychology'. It harnesses a highly effective methodology, advanced communication skills, and a series of techniques for rapidly changing the thoughts, behaviour patterns and beliefs that limit people's potential and development.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
- EFT combines Chinese acupressure with modern psychology and visualisation to remove blockages in a person's energy system or 'meridians'. By gently tapping on specific points, whilst verbalising and affirming how we feel, the amygdala becomes desensitised, cortisol is lowered, issues are resolved, and negative emotions released.
Motivational Maps®
- A Motivational Map® is an ISO-accredited online diagnostic tool which has very practical applications for business leaders. It provides a report which accurately identifies a person’s motivational profile (core motivators, areas for immediate attention and potential weaknesses). When used with teams, multiple maps are combined into a single view to highlight team dynamics, specific areas of dissatisfaction, and a common language enables people to discuss their differences with ease. Because Motivational Maps® provide information at a much deeper level than traditional staff surveys, more informed choices can be made about engagement, communication, and leadership style.
Time Line Therapy™ (TLT)
- TLT is a powerful therapeutic process based on accessing your unconscious mind and the concept that we all have a unique arrangement of the past and future, which forms a line. We all record, store and code memories in our own special way, and our past experiences determine who we are and how we act - even if those experiences are from before the age of 4. In addition, our behaviour is guided by decisions that we’ve made in the past. Whether conscious or unconscious, these decisions affect our behaviour in the present. Our decisions are stored in the Time Line, and through Time Line Therapy we gain access to them!
