A medical practitoner for over thirty years, I took early retirement and changed my life. Now I enable professional people to get ready for retirement by learning how to manage change for this important transition. You can have a life after retirement
I'm passionate about doctors and health professionals who care for others having a life too. Too often carers are great with others but forget about their own self care.
Specialising in Coaching doctors for many years see my web site www.thedoctorscoach.co.uk
Now I offer a combination of NLP and coaching with hypnotherapy if required. All on the telephone so it doesn't matter where you live! see also www.hypnotherapybyphone.co.uk
I was having a serious stress-related burnout reaction triggered by family problems ( a son dropping out of university ) and work pressures which I felt impotent to modulate. I had become depressed and had a very low self esteem, I was feeling lonely and isolated and starting to lose hope. I was dithering around trying to make a decision as to whether I should return to my home country or continue to work in the UK within what I felt was a system toxic to spirit. I was grossly out of balance and was living life out of alignment with my core values.
You listened attentively and sensitively; you offered a gentle guiding presence to me at the end of the telephone; your voice was soft and soothed me ; you offered other perspectives , you attempted to get me to see things in different ways; you gave me tools such as the NLP logical levels to approach my difficulties in terms of need hierarchies; you helped me to see my journey as a stage in spiritual growth as a heroes journey , you gently pushed me when I encountered impasses and picked me up when I stumbled. You helped me become clear on my decision to stay or go; you offered a counterpoint via the NLP tool of talking to each hand which was a middle way to my either or approach; you helped me start to really visualise just how I would like my life to be and how that might align with my higher purpose. I have more clearly identified my Higher Purpose and the rest flows from that more effortlessly.
I am calmer mostly; I am a little bit more accepting of the way things are ; I am no longer depressed; I have made the decision to quit my job and go back to my homeland; but even more than this I have re-awakened from being asleep to my True Self; the coaching was not entirely responsible for this but it ignited a flame within me which will never be extinguished as long as I live.
