What is Personal Development?
Personality type is a good start, but what happens after that? Discovering more of who you are is the next adventure.
For a moment imagine looking in a mirror. Do you see just a face? Do you see all your good points and none of the ‘not so good’ parts of you? Do you see all the parts of you you don’t like and none of the good? Or do you see all the different aspects of yourself?
Imagine knowing how to be with all the parts of yourself, and allowing the highest ‘quality’ parts to flourish. Like getting to a place where the loving part is so fully present in yourself that it overflows to more people in your life. Wouldn’t that really feel connecting. Is it possible to feel lovingly connected with more people in your life? Yes, and when it does life becomes amazing.
The easiest place to start is talking with someone who is like the mirror, and finding out what you are really like. Then things just flow from there.
How does Personal Development work?
This work starts with you being curious with what’s really happening within you and your life. It is so much easier doing this with someone who does more than listen, but asks sensitive, insightful questions. Many times in everyday conversations people can be quite critical and even harsh. The hallmark of these sessions is not like that, but totally on your side.
Being a ‘safe companion’ as you look into areas of the self and help you know what to do with what you find. As they say, knowledge is power, and we actively help you use this knowledge to create the life you would like to experience, inside and out.
What’s a Personal Development session like?
Long ago some personal development was seen as hard work. Our sessions are nothing like that. We follow the flow of joy. Research consistently shows that when people enjoy themselves learning happens fast. This doesn’t mean feelings like uncertainty don’t come up, it sometimes does and is normal. Who wouldn’t feel a bit uncertain when exploring something quite ‘new’.
We accompany you in ways that are safe and enjoyable, using years of experience, within our own personal development journeys, and with clients, to help us to know how to help you on this adventure in inspiring ways.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
This is just a note to express my thanks. I had always been very sceptical about whether counselling would work for me – but I knew I needed it at the time. My therapist Daniel was very helpful, and compassionate and helped me feel more confident about how to deal with my problems on a day-to-day basis. He used a task-centred approach and I found the support very practical and I was able to see positive changes in my own mindset, how I was feeling and had a better outlook. I am very grateful for the support, without which I would not have been able to get through a very difficult period.
I truly believe that our meetings were inspirational. Without your help I don’t think I would be where I am now in my life. You truly helped me to realise who I am and gave me the courage to carry on and enjoy life again. When I think back to the start of last year I was in a very dark isolated place where I thought there was no exit door but during our meetings I found the door back into the light again. Since then that light has shone brighter every day. I do have the odd wobbly time but I remember all you taught me and I calm the wobbles down very quickly. Please never give up what you do and hope we can stay in touch.
A highly recommended therapist, I’ve had 8 CBT sessions and I feel I’ve found my inner peace. I’ve learned to cope with anxiety & stress, which for years I’ve been struggling with. The breathing techniques, knowledge & awareness of my own self is my foundation that I will continue to build on. All this was only possible through Daniel. I’m truly grateful for his expertise, support & teaching.
