What is
Voice Your Mind?
Voice Your Mind enables you to offload negative thoughts in a confidential, non-judgmental and safe way. As we work together, Voicing Your Mind facilitates a more positive and desirable behaviour, which quickly and painlessly moves you from your current stuck frame of mind, to where you want to be. It empowers you to respond better and more positively to situations, rather than react negatively and irrationally to things we ‘think’ are true.
What would you like to achieve as a future goal or outcome?
What would you like different in your life?
What would make life better for you?
-
A positive self-worth and self-esteem?
-
An improved social confidence?
-
A reduction of stress and anxiety?
-
Overcoming fears and phobias?
-
Trauma - BIG or small
-
Taking control of addictive habits - anger, bingeing, smoking, nail biting, skin picking, comfort eating …..?
What gets in the way?
Usually a lack of self-esteem, lack of confidence, a feeling of being judged, not feeling good enough. All these, and more, can usually be traced back to childhood events, not necessarily trauma but silly, thoughtless things that our parents or teachers or even friends have said - 'your sister can do that, why can't you?' 'Why can't you get 11 out of 10?' 'No pain, no gain.' 'We're working class and not meant to have much money.'
No wonder we get screwed up. Our beliefs are formed by what our parents and other influences around us believe. It's time to fight back, challenge their beliefs 'who said so?' be empowered and make informed decisions by questioning and then, move on.
I have both witnessed and experienced that in order to be a confident and self-loving person, the mind has to be in the right place for the body to do its thing and we cannot get the mind and body to work efficiently when there’s a perceived threat or danger. Our bodies protect us, and quite rightly so.

What Is
Complementary Coaching?
Well, in a nutshell, they concentrate on boosting a general sense of well-being by calming negative emotions and relieving anxiety. We know that positive emotions aid in improving health both physically, mentally and emotionally, don’t we? We just need a bit of guidance to move us away from the brick walls that stop us from being empowered so we can make positive changes.
Complementary therapies can be 'standalones' or can work alongside conventional care that is provided by medical professionals. It is not a substitute for medical care or medication and if in doubt, always check with your GP.
Within our session we can just talk or, depending on your issues and to give you a reboot, we can add any number of modalities to complement your healing, from hypnotherapy right through to vocal coaching. A great tool for performers, presenters, teachers, barristers...anyone who has anxiety getting up and delivering in front of others.
Psychological
Well-Being
There are six dimensions of psychological well-being in the first column.
But what of the opposites in the second column?
How many of the below resonate with you and your life?
Well-Being
-
Self-acceptance
-
Autonomy
-
Environmental mastery
-
Personal growth
-
Positive relationships
-
Purpose in life
Dis-Ease
-
Dislike of self, non self-acceptance
-
Feeling helpless, powerless
-
Too many outside events knocking you down
-
In a slump, stagnating
-
Not being true to yourself, pleasing others
-
Just existing day by day, floundering
If any of the above resonate in the Dis-ease side, it’s time to take back control of your life. I will give you the tools to realise your own potential. We are much more than we think but sometimes our reservoir of resources and resilience skills gets so low, it prevents us from making positive and effective decisions.
All those in the Dis-ease column have a knock-on effect and therefore ask yourself these:
-
Do I have low self-esteem?
-
Do I have mood swings and feel tearful?
-
Do I have low quality sleep, live in the past and can’t see my future clearly?
-
Do I have low-energy, lack of motivation and procrastinate?
-
Do I have a toxic work environment but can’t see my way out?
-
Do I have stage fright, performance or presenting anxiety?
And most importantly...
Am I being the BEST VERSION of MYSELF?
If your mental well-being is low (at Dis-ease level) and you’d welcome learning how to give it that positive boost and gain resilience strategies, we can work together on a bespoke package.
What’s in your past?
Have you formed unhealthy habits and addictive behaviours overtime, such as anger, overeating, too much media, binge drinking, not exercising enough, smoking?
The problem is usually not where you think it is i.e. in the present. It’s often further back and formed around the age of six. It shows up in the present as multiples of issues but its root cause needs to be addressed, otherwise unhealthy habits and negative mind-sets will continue to control and limit us. We will sabotage our own personal growth.
In my practising experience, root causes have been:
-
Childhood trauma (big or small)
-
Abuse - physical, sexual and/or emotional
-
Neglect, abandonment
-
Social isolation or loneliness
-
Experiencing bullying, stigma and discrimination
-
Social disadvantage, poverty, debt
-
Bereavement, grief, loss
-
Severe and long-term stress
-
Guilt, shame
My Happy Clients
SNAKE PHOBIA
I found the whole experience very helpful.
I have had a lifetime extreme fear of snakes and have to say I was very sceptical that anything would work but to my amazement Amanda managed to get to core of the problem and with kind but persistent probing we seemed to unravel a very long term problem.
Amanda showed total professionalism and empathy and a warmth of personality that immediately put you at ease.
