Coaching is a process by which a coach supports their client in identifying an area they want to improve, helps them define clear, specific, and time-bound goals, recognises their obstacles, and guides them through a process to help them achieve them. The whole process is cognitive-based and focused on the here and now.

I incorporate coaching into my work to clarify the desired outcomes that my clients intend to achieve, and I use them throughout my sessions to track their progress. During the sessions, though, I use EFT as it bypasses the cognitive part by reaching the subconscious to address the underlying emotional issues that contribute to addictive behaviours and disrupt the patterns that sustain them.

I specialise in alcohol and substance misuse, and my past, present and continuous training includes specialised knowledge about the use and misuse of drugs and alcohol, the effect that they have on mental and physical health, well as the impact that substance abuse has on the family members of the person misusing.
