  Paul Peace

I treat all my clients with respect and dignity. I aim to keep things positive and avoid things that make clients uncomfortable such as blame and criticism.

I am a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and a senior clinician of the National Council for Hypnotherapy if you decide hypnotherapy could be useful.

I love what I do. Combining my interests, qualifications and experience with my desire to help people improve their lives is my dream job! You will always get a warm welcome here.

Qualifications

PhD - Doctorate in Psychology obtained from Sheffield Hallam University. Language and Psychology.

BSc (Hons) Psychology - first class from Sheffield Hallam University. Surprisingly, a degree in psychology is relatively rare in the coaching community. Coaches routinely deal with the human mind, behaviour, language, body language and emotions and all of these areas are covered on a Psychology degree.

NLP Master Practitioner - Master Practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming. We don't currently understand how language and the biological brain interface but there have been some remarkable observations of how certain language patterns can help people improve their lives. NLP has helped people overcome phobias and habits, communicate better, manage emotions and much more. 'Neuro' refers to the biological brain, 'linguistic' refers to language and 'programming' is a computer metaphor referring to the way old habits, thoughts, speech patterns and emotions can be replaced by new ones.

Master Practitioner of TimeLine Re-Patterning - TimeLine Re-Patterining is one of a number of brands of timeline therapies which help people to overcome problems by exploring past troubles and past resources. For example, someone frightened of giving presentations might explore being put down by a teacher at school and labelled 'stupid' when answering a question in class. They can travel back in time to an early positive experience of, say, enjoying being in a school play, or bring the skills and abilities of a mature adult mind to bear of the initial sensitising event.

EMDR trained - Fully trained to Advanced Part 3 in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, phobia, etc. EMDR Europe accredited training.

My approach to coaching is all about empowering people and enabling them to take control of their issues and find solutions. Whilst I offer support, advice and guidance, the client is expected to take ultimate responsibility for the decisions they make.

I am very enthusiastic about my work as a coach, NLP Practitioner and Stress Management Consultant.

Qualifications

BSc (Hons) Psychology. A three year degree course undertaken at Sheffield Hallam University. As a coach, it is essential that I am equipped with the knowledge and the tools for helping clients psychologically. I have a detailed understanding of mind, behaviour and communication.

DipNLP - Diploma in Neuro-linguistic Programming. NLP encompasses a range of very powerful techniques for helping to eradicate long-standing issues which have been having a negative effect on people’s lives. I have used it effectively with people who, for example, want to stop smoking, lose weight, reduce anxiety, or improve confidence and self-esteem.

CertSM - Certificate in Stress Management – stress is a common problem which most people suffer at some point in their lives, whether at home or at work. I have a good understanding of the physical and psychological causes and effects of stress, as well as effective stress management techniques.
