About The Stress Coach Tools
Neuro Linguistic Programming
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help you make quick but long lasting changes to your behaviour so that you can achieve different outcomes in your life.
When you’re born, your brain is a blank canvas. Like a brand new computer has programmes downloaded onto it, your brain stores every experience, memory and emotion you are exposed to and creates programmes that run without you even realising.
Just like an out of date version of Word or Excel, these programmes don’t always create the outcomes you want. NLP provides techniques to help reprogramme your brain to create the life you want.
Working at a subconscious level, it brings to light how you make sense of the world using your five senses and challenges your perceptions, values and beliefs in order for you to move forward.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy accesses an altered state of consciousness (trance) using hypnosis.
Trance is when you drive from A to B but don’t remember actually doing it. Or getting sucked into social media and you’ve lost an hour.
Hypnosis is an intentional type of trance. It’s an organised way to install new suggestions to your subconscious mind.
These suggestions shift your perceptions and memories and bring about positive changes within you.
There’s no running around like a chicken with this type of hypnosis either, just a very deep state of relaxation. Oh, and positive reactions to things that may have been a problem in the past.
Magic.
Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a westernised non-invasive form of acupuncture.
Also known as - Meridian Based Therapy, Tapping and Psychological Acupressure. Its roots are in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
EFT uses the body’s energy system. Which can become blocked by negative or traumatic memories, thoughts or events. The result is negative emotions.
It’s believed, to be free of physical and psychological pain and disease, your energy channels must be calmed.
Specific points of your body (energy hot spots) are tapped to release negative blocks, free up the energy flow and restore holistic balance.
In addition, statements - which talk directly to your subconscious mind - are used. These allow you to accept problems and free yourself from negative emotions quickly.
EFT can be used for many things:
- Physical pain
- Improved performance (to clear limiting beliefs)
- Release fears and phobias
- Weight loss (due to emotional eating or unconscious eating)
- Stress, anxiety, depression and panic
- Withdrawal symptoms / cravings
- Sleep
- Emotional distress and other low frequency emotions
- Personal Development (working on yourself from the inside).
Life Coaching
Life Coaching is goal focused and uses the power of commitment to achieve positive results in your health, career, finances and relationships.
If you’re feeling out of sorts with your life - even if you don’t know what’s wrong - it will guide you to solve problems using your own resources.
Meditation
Meditation is a centuries old practice that has many benefits.
It helps you:
- Relax
- Reduce Stress
- Focus
- Sleep well
- Manage pain
During meditation, your mind and body connect. You understand yourself more.
Meditating every day can make you feel calm and improve your thinking. It can even enhance the quality of your life.

Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "yogic sleep," transcends the typical images of complex yoga poses. Instead, it's a practice of lying down, closing your eyes, and embarking on a guided journey.
Picture it as a mental massage, designed to induce both relaxation and self-discovery.
Rooted in ancient yogic traditions, Buddhism and Western Philosophy. Yoga Nidra is a practical and accessible tool for anyone seeking a respite from the stresses of daily life.
The guided process helps your mind and body take a breather. It's a deliberate pause in the chaos.
Trouble sleeping? Yoga Nidra eases you into a state of relaxation, making it your pre-sleep ritual for better shut-eye
Instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, it encourages you to stay in the now. It's practical mindfulness - helpful for dealing with stressors when you're not caught up in what's already done or what might happen next.
Yoga Nidra is the key to unlocking relaxation and mental rejuvenation.
No prior yoga expertise is needed; just lie down, follow your guide, and let the systematic relaxation weave its transformative magic. It's a simple yet potent practice, providing a mental oasis in the midst of your demanding daily routines.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a non-invasive, natural, relaxing and enjoyable form of pressure therapy which is great for everyone.
It involves massage and compression to the reflex points on your feet, hands or face. These points make up a mini-map of the whole of your body including each organ, gland and body part.
During Reflexology you can tell exactly which reflex points feel out of balance and which parts of your body they relate to. The point of the treatment is to tease out blockages and return your body to its optimum condition.
You’ll need to travel to Hitchin, Hertfordshire for these ‘in person’ appointments.
