Why I do what I do

When I started my career as a solicitor, I quickly realised that it wasn’t for me.

I remember one day looking around my bland, corporate, open-plan office. I observed everyone around me busily tapping away on their computers.

 I found myself asking: “what am I doing here?”

A Square peg in a Round Hole

The truth was I embarked on this career because I didn’t know what else to do. It seemed safe, secure and I hoped it might feed my passion for justice. 

My situation was what I call a ‘career by default’. I knew deep down that being a lawyer was never going to have me jumping out of bed in the morning, but I didn’t had the courage to explore and experiment with something different.

I soon found my work draining and oppressive. I had very little autonomy and virtually no scope to use my creativity. It made me feel miserable.

I looked at my bosses and asked myself “is that really where I want to end up?”

It struck me that there was so much dissatisfaction, yet nobody seemed to be doing anything about it.  I realised that most of them felt trapped and didn’t believe it was an option to make a change.

Work that felt like me

After a lot of research, conversations and soul searching I embarked on my training to become a cognitive hypnotherapist.

I was so inspired to learn all these amazing, cutting-edge techniques that helped people overcome their limitations and take complete ownership of their lives.

When I worked with clients I felt energised and completely in flow. I found what I wanted to do and it felt amazing.

I now run a successful therapy and coaching practice and I can honestly say that I look forward to Monday mornings (something I never used to think was possible).

I’m here to help you enjoy a career you love

It’s now my passion to help others get back in touch with what lights them up so that they can do work that they love.

There’s nothing I love more than helping my clients regain control and transition to a career that fulfils them and gives them a deep sense of purpose.

I invite you to create a career by design, not by default.

I believe that the whole world benefits when you do work that feeds your strengths, brings you fulfilment and energises you.

In fact I believe you owe it to yourself to love your work.

As Steve Jobs, founder of Apple says:

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” 

I truly believe this.  I know change can feel scary but life is too short to settle for work that makes you miserable. Change is always possible – even if it doesn’t feel that way.

If you want to get started exploring what might be possible for you, I invite you to book a no-obligation Confidence and Clarity Call.

I’m really looking forward to meeting you.
