Jo Simons - Therapist & Coach
I have had the privilege of working as a Therapist and Coach for over ten years'. My main clients are women suffering fears, anxiety and overwhelm often related to their fertility journey, pregnancy or their health & well-being.
I am passionate about helping them become calm, gain confidence in themselves and find clarity about what they want out of life without their anxiety and fears holding them back.
Jo Simons - Cognitive Hypnotherapist and Coach
About Me
I have been anxious and stressed at various times in my life suffering with feelings of not being "good enough", being out of control as well as often having a fear of failure and a lack of self belief. All areas I often see in my clients.
I was first introduced to therapy when I needed support to manage anxiety around my own fertility. At the time, I was working as a Manager in a busy Recruitment Consultancy, experiencing anxiety & high stress levels. I did eventually fall pregnant, and then also discovered HYPNOBIRTHIING, which gave me the tools I needed emotionally and mentally for a natural childbirth.
Having seen for myself how powerful these therapies can be, I made a career change and retrained as a Therapist in 2004. I wanted to be able to provide support mentally, as well as physically, to help other women through anxiety and stress whilst empowering with the confidence to be who they want to be. Training initially in Reflexology and then later on in HYPNOTHERAPY & COACHING.
I have used Hypnotherapy for many areas of my life to keep my calm and grounded. I also used to be a complete nightmare with blood and needles and although I can't say I love it now I am quite happy to have a blood test and injections - very different to the way I was in the past!
If you have a Hypnotherapy or Coaching session, the insights about yourself and the tools you will learn will help in all aspects of your life whether you are trying for a baby, have pregnancy anxiety, want to change an unwanted behaviour or would like to take a look at all areas of your life through a coaching programme tailored to you.
If you have any questions please get in touch as I would love to help you start your journey towards a happier and healthier you so you can live your best life.
