explore the pause

welcome

Experiencing for yourself — the most engaging, enlightening and effective catalyst for professional development, personal transformation and creative expression. Intriguing and accessible, explore the pause will enable you to experience yourself anew as you explore your professional and social self-expression.

I draw upon professional trainings and substantial practical experience gained from meeting, coaching and listening to many remarkable people. Also a well established Coach of Professional Spoken Voice + Personal Presence, my positive experiential approach similarly distinguishes my tuition of professional spoken voice and personal presence — www.per-sona.com

approach

My approach focuses on ‘what’s not wrong’ — the positive realm of the horizon and above. This is highly effective for people who know they are well, who are curious for greater awareness and eager to explore personal transformation. This contrasts with those traditional therapies that roam the realm of the horizon and below, focusing on deficit, measuring fissures of weaknesses and the fault lines of personal unease. It is this focus on the negative compounds that misery and risks reinforcing the very beliefs and related feelings that prevent natural development, change and moving on.

Western culture manifests through actions — through ‘doing’ rather than ‘being’. My approach broadens your awareness to include ‘how’ you are, in all that you choose to do. This is not distraction, not mental introspection and not meditation-in-isolation, which many people are unable to practice effectively when under pressure. You will discover subtle shifts in your awareness to help you comprehend how you are in all you do, whilst doing. This is presence.

Once this vibrant self-connection is realised, transformation becomes more straightforward, manageable and enjoyable.
This is choice.

When this makes complete sense or feels intuitively familiar, you will fully appreciate your inner resourcefulness and its potential. This is change.

Obstacles holding you back, such as anxiety, social insecurity, confidence, fear of public speaking, phobia, symptoms of overwhelm, along with emotional eating and drinking, insomnia, lethargy or procrastination … simply fade to insignificant memories, or can be managed for as long as you wish.

Why this approach?
Life’s transitions involve YOU and other people in personal and professional communication: to learn and grow, to lead and follow, to love and let go, to understand fear and release unwanted habits to re-balance your life.

All the world's a stage
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts …
Shakespeare’s As You Like It

The art of living the life you desire, calls first for increased self-awareness to release pre-conceptions, plus curiosity and courage to explore, then dedication to change, plus confidence and trust in others — finally, the ability to be open to reveal an entrancing story, the adventure of your life. All rites of passage involve first letting-go, then finding, fostering and reinforcing connection to a vibrant new sense of self. Before and during the various, at times confusing, stages of change lies the trap of procrastination and the tendency to blame others, because momentarily both of these can feel easier than the effort required to experience transition alone, unguided.

To become as you truly desire, first you have to come out of what you are not …

We also blame stress when, in reality, it is our own inability to pause and choose the best form of rest for recovery. Physically, human beings have evolved to respond well to peaks of stress followed by appropriate rest. explore the pause will help you recognise, minimise and manage the physical, mental and emotional symptoms of overwhelm which you incubate from external stress triggers, allowing you instead to choose to embrace and enjoy all that is good in contemporary life.

Enjoy the positive energy of other people in a sunny, spacious, modern studio in London. The experience will stimulate your senses, build your inherent strengths and create fresh choices to inform both your inner identity (relating to yourself) and your external expression (relating to others). PAUSE is highly relevant for times of transition, ideal for creative exploration and excellent for both professional development and social confidence. If you value grace and personal presence in all you do — PAUSE! — take 2 days for yourself.

121 APPOINTMENTS
The questions I suggest that you ask of yourself will go to the crux of your issue and be felt by you to be highly relevant.
From experience I find it preferable to adapt approaches to you instead of moulding you to any one process. This simple shift respects your inner wisdom, reminds you how to be true to yourself and supports your taking greater personal responsibility with confidence. In turn, this will underpin your mature, independent, consistent follow-through to permanent change.

121 HYPNOTHERAPY offers a highly effective combination of Relaxation, Ego State Therapy and Regression. Sessions are tailored to reach the crux of your issues in ways that encourage your confidence and curiousity. The skill in achieving this effectively with you resides in the way I listen to you. Hypnosis is optional, certainly recommended but not compulsory.
