Personal Profile
 
     "I find being a theraputic counsellor and personal develpment coach, absolutely fascinating, it constantly thrills me to be involved in enabling people to experience such profound and amazing positive changes in their lives.
 
       My interest in therapeutic counselling and hypnotherapy began as part of a natural progression within my role as a secondary school teacher for 20 years, working closely with young people and their families on social issues, which had an impact on their everyday lives. As a result, I became interested in therapeutic counselling and the difference it can make to the quality of our lives. This developed into a realisation of how powerful our minds are and how our inner selves have incredible healing powers in enabling us to turn our lives around for the better.
 
This background has given me a special interest in working with the many issues that cause stress and anxiety often leading to confidence and relationship concerns."
 
 
Joy often works within local schools where her teaching experiences give her valuable insight into the problems and issues that affect teaching staff.
 
Joy gives some of her time as a volunteer counsellor with DAA (Dorset Action on Abuse) working with adult survivors of childhood abuse.

Personal Profile
 
      "My interest in hypnotherapy was first ignited when my daughter sought treatment for her fear of spiders, I had tried, unsuccessfully to convince her that spiders were harmless for over twenty years and was astounded that someone could completely cure her in just 3 one hour sessions, I just had to learn more about it! 
 
       I had long believed in the healing power of the mind and when I started to study hypnotherapy, a lot of things seemed to fall into place. I was totally absorbed by the many different methods that can be used to treat such a wide variety of problems that affect all of us at some time in our lives.
 
     After gaining my diploma it seemed a natural progression to study counselling as a way to further my knowledge and skills in this fascinating field and it soon became apparent that the two separate disciplines could be so much more effective when combined.
 
My background in the Ambulance Service has led to a special interest in pain management and how therapy can be used in tandem with medical treatment to help both sufferers and their carers to accept and take control of their situation, giving them increased mobility and improving their quality of life."
 
 
John gives some of his time to work on the bereavement support team at Forest Holme, the paliative cancer care unit associated with Poole Hospital.
