Counselling and psychotherapy

I developed this approach to support the many leaders I came across during my coaching assignments who were also struggling with mental health issues such as anger management, chronic anxiety, difficulties with relationships, depression and PTSD. Often senior leaders are working under huge pressure and challenge and offering them support is important to all involved.

I have an MSc in Occupational Psychology, a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Mind coaching, and am a qualified NLP practitioner. I am the author of several books including my latest: How to Survive and Thrive in an Impossible World.  I am regularly interviewed on radio and TV

  • Anxiety, Trauma and Therapy

    Chronic Anxiety is a pervasive condition which can have long-term serious health implications as well as reducing day-to-day wellbeing and effectiveness I can help you reduce and even overcome the debilitating impact of ongoing anxiety and trauma. The number of sessions required can depend upon the severity and origins of the problem, which is agreed upon after the initial session.

  • Description tThis is a program for controlling anger and preventing its destructive manifestations: Without anger management, your outbursts of hostility may eventually have catastrophic consequences. As with all my work I take a multi-stranded approach looking at the roots of the anger response, the triggers of the anger (not the same thing!) , the behaviours that result and the consequences that arise. Through a process of exploration and resolution we will work together to reduce and resolve the causes and implications of unwanted bursts of anger

  • Being able to build and sustain a network of positive relationships is the key to fulfillment and success. This programme helps leaders develop authentic relationships in an impactful way increasing influence and engagement.

  • Many people suffer from low esteem and self-confidence which results in them never achieving the fulfillment in life of which they are capable. This is 3 session programme is a fast-track to the new you!. The programme includes developing social confidence, better relationships with others and achieving greater impact.

  • Using a unique approach co-developed with the renowned psychologist Dr Michael Apter I offer an approach that begins with your 'wholeself' - deepening your understanding of who you are and what you have to offer the world. This is a much more useful 'starting point' for change than searching around for goals that can feel vague and abstract. It sees your life as something you 'inhabit' and from which clear goals and choices can be made. A coaching programme is usually over 4 x 1 hour sessions and an be delivered fact to face or on-line.

Steve is very skilled at identifying what is causing the issues you have by using non-threatening questions and helps you to help yourself deal with them. He is very respectful to what you say. I would happily recommend Steve to anyone. His book is worth a read as well

I’m really positive about the whole process and am confident I’ll come out on the winning side.

I’m good thanks and have felt quite different about life since our sessions so thank you

This was so important to me!

Face to Face

I offer sessions from my base in Derbyshire and I plan to offer face-to-face sessions in London as well. At work sessions can be arranged where there is a suitable accomodation. The number of sessions required can vary depending upon client needs and agreed after the first introductory session. Sessions normally last up to 90 minutes and our informal and discrete. It is usual for the client to engage in some reflection and activity between sessions

Online

My online sessions are similar in structure and process as the face to face sessions but can be delivered anywhere in the world. (It is possible to blend both face to face and online sessions)
  
 Sessions are conducted via Zoom or Teams and again are 60 - 90 minutes.

"Too often we are held back by our past. Through my global work as a performance psychologist and training in clinical hypnotherapy, counselling and NLP and a lifetime as a coach, I work with people who find themselves trapped in a style of life or state of mind from which they want to break free."
