About Andrea (Followed by Client testimonials)
Services
I Hi, my name is Andrea and I am a mum an artist and a life skills guide (of course I'm so much more than that!). I am qualified through the ABNLP as a Master Practitioner of the following: Master NLP /Master Coach /Master Hypnosis/ Master Time Line Therapy ™. I am also qualified in Massage, Reiki, TQUK Level 3 Education and Training to Teach Adults. I have run Meditation workshops and I am also qualified in levels 2 & 3 BACP Counselling skills and I can incorporate some or all of the above within my interventions or as separate elements for positive change work. Amongst others, I have trained with both John Grinder (co-creator of NLP) and Connirae Andreas (also of the original NLP family) and have a wide and diverse range of tools at my disposal. As a child I was good at undoing knots. Other kids at school always used to bring me their knots to undo! It's something that stuck in my mind and recently started to have some significance about the direction my life should go in. I believe that the universe shows us signposts and gives us leads and signals and that unless we become 'aware' of the signs, then these markers are often missed. I had been waiting for insight as to 'how' we do what we do all my life and during my own personal journey, I have, laughed and cried and at every stage, I’ve accomplished something whether it be through understanding pain or enjoying the discovery which really in itself is the same thing. I had in the past struggled with academics and low self esteem and through experience and teachings and changing my old limiting beliefs, I have reached academic and personal milestones that have increased my confidence, self awareness, spirituality and an understanding of personal energetic fields. I believe my purpose is to share with others what I have learned, I would love share and support you to get past your obstacles and easily achieve great things. I currently carry out on-line breakthrough sessions assisting you the client to align your thinking to your goals. This can be done in a number of ways according to your needs and how you can achieve the best results. My style is to promote and encourage autonomy in you the client and to introduce the idea of growth and transformation through your energy and your communication with yourself and ultimately the feedback you get from yourself and others. Working with your energy can promote an environment for peace and healing. I currently offer services through Zoom, email and in some cases face to face, in order to suit your individual needs. Face to face sessions obviously depend on whether Covid restrictions are in place I may be able to work according to your time constraints and budget and I believe that commitment is part of the solution. All sessions are bespoke as I work best intuitively. It's up to you to make the changes and to continue to do so. If you're still not sure if we could work together please read some of the success stories below from some of my clients and or contact me through this website for a free consultation. I also offer Massage and Reiki. Please click Services for more information regarding massage. |

What is NLP?
An overview of the definition of NLP is 'Modelling Excellence' and then installing that behaviour in others. This means that we all have the potential to produce excellent behaviours in a specific field. Over the years there have been many great thinkers, philosophers, scientists, theorists, mathematicians, biologists, psychologists etc........ We could think of these fields/areas of focus as being different, or as seems to be the way forward is that a lot of these different interests are connected. NLP brings together lots of techniques/mediums/ideas/facts and incorporates/blends them so that the client/receiver is steered towards a common goal of congruency/balance/inner peace/confidence/personal achievement or positive change at some level. The whole ethos of NLP is based on positive intent, by both the client and the practitioner. This means that an NLP practitioner believes that their client/s 'absolutely' has/have the potential they need to get what they want out of life. Some people have a belief that NLP is manipulative! This word may have a negative connotation to some, but if the intent is positive then manipulating old behaviours thereby changing them so that they produce great results changes the negative meaning of manipulation to positive change. We all use our nervous systems, we all use language, we all have behaviour patterns but NLP practitioners are taught to use their skills with volition, to understand the mechanics of 'what makes us tic' and to help bring an awareness and choice and flexibility to ourselves and how we relate to others.

I have been biting my nails for over 30 years after a coaching session with Andrea I have not bitten them for a year. Not being used to having nails, I keep forgetting to cut them! The session helped me to see how bad it looked, when I bit them. So now when I think about biting them, I see that image in my head. Andrea is a true professional and gets results using a great sense of humour.
Mitesh - Superintendent Pharmacist - BSC(hon) MpharmS
Having had a long term issue for which I had tried a number of techniques to resolve, I had finally given up hope of a solution.
It was by luck I had my first session with Andrea. After that first session I had a small but immediate break through!
After just a few more sessions I have had a massive improvement and massively thankful to Andrea.
Angela - Marketing Manager
I came to see Andrea for some personal coaching. I found her advice and help invaluable. It helped me look at situations from a different point of view which enabled me to tackle my problems in a calm and thought out way. I use Andrea on a regular basis and wouldn't be without her help and guidance. Andrea taught me to turn my situation around and I'll be forever grateful.

Cornelia - Arts& Crafts Teacher
I have met Andrea at one point in my life that I thought" Why is this happening to me and why do I feel like this?" Every time I met her she would lift my spirits and explain that this was only a phase in my life and I will come out stronger. Her knowledge about spirituality is vast and she would find a programme to suit any needs. Andrea has offer the alternative of e-mail consultation or 1-1 sessions which was brilliant as I could choose to read her advice in my own time and ask her what I wanted whenever I needed. I would recommend Andrea to anyone going through life's challenges-you will discover power through adversity!
Madeleine - Poet & Teacher
Andrea, thanks again for the session today, I got a lot out of it. I had an hour session with Andrea where I was asked to draw responses to important life areas, both as potential problem areas and finding solutions/resources. It was difficult but quite liberating to respond in this way. We also talked about different ways of viewing the world, understanding where I was on a sliding scale, the possibility of change, and dispensing with negative labels such as 'worrier'. I found the session stimulating and the ideas and resources that we explored interesting and helpful. I was put at my ease by Andrea's calm, fun approach and the environment was relaxed and welcoming..
