The TLC Way™ is my whole-person approach to understanding what may be influencing where you are now and what could help you move forward.

Rather than assuming one diagnosis, behaviour, belief or life experience explains everything, we look at the bigger picture: your health, behaviour, identity, experiences, circumstances and how you’re actually living.

From there, we explore what you want to be different, what may be within your influence and what could help you begin creating meaningful change in real life.

The approach can draw on different tools depending on the individual, including coaching, behaviour change, nutrition, Belief Coding®, breathwork and other practical or exploratory approaches.

No. You don’t need to be spiritual or believe in anything in particular to work with me.

Some of the approaches I use are very practical and grounded in health, behaviour and everyday life. Others, such as subconscious work, breathwork or visualisation, may feel more exploratory.

I’m also open to spiritual or metaphysical perspectives where they are meaningful to the person I’m working with, but I don’t present those ideas as scientific fact or expect you to share my beliefs.

You can be sceptical, curious, spiritual, somewhere in between, or none of the above.

I can help you look at the bigger picture around your health, wellbeing, eating habits and everyday choices, rather than simply giving you a list of things you “should” be doing.

Depending on what you want to change, we might explore nutrition, eating behaviour, movement, energy, routines, habits, stress, sleep or some of the things that make following through difficult even when you already know what may help.

The aim is to understand what is happening for you and find realistic changes that fit your health, circumstances and life.

Belief Coding® is a facilitated process that explores beliefs, emotional responses, experiences and subconscious patterns that may be influencing how you think, feel, respond or experience what is happening in your health or life.

During a session, I guide you through the structured Belief Coding® process while you focus on the area you want to explore. You don’t need to arrive knowing what belief may be involved, what might be connected to it or why something is happening. That is what we explore through the process.

People can experience sessions very differently, and I don’t promise a particular outcome. The process allows us to explore what beliefs, emotional responses, experiences or subconscious patterns may be connected to what you’re experiencing and what may change when we work with them.

Belief Coding® is one of the main approaches I use within my wider work, particularly when we’re exploring the connections between someone’s health, body, experiences and subconscious responses.

Belief Coding® was developed by Jessica Cunningham and brings together techniques and concepts from a range of approaches, including psychology, NLP, EFT, meditation, visualisation, somatic awareness and energy-based practices.

The Belief Coding® framework has also been studied using neuroscience methods, including EEG, to explore what happens during the process and the changes participants experience.

That research is an important part of the developing evidence around Belief Coding®, although it isn’t the same as saying the process has been clinically proven as a healthcare treatment.

During a session, I guide you through the structured Belief Coding® process to explore beliefs, emotions and experiences that may be connected with the issue you’ve chosen to work on, before working through the framework designed to create change around what comes up.

The number of Belief Coding® sessions you may need is very individual.

Two people can come to me wanting to work on something that sounds very similar, but what is connected to that outcome can be completely different for each person. One person may experience the shift they’re looking for relatively quickly, while another may have several different experiences, beliefs or patterns connected to the same issue that we need to explore over a number of sessions.

That’s why I don’t book someone straight into a series of Belief Coding® sessions without first having a TLC Space session. It gives us time to look at what you want to change, what may be connected to it and what kind of support is likely to make sense for you.

I won’t promise that something will take one session, three sessions or six before I understand your individual bigger picture.

No. I can’t guarantee a particular outcome, because change depends on many things, including what you want to work on, what may be influencing it, your individual circumstances and what happens between our sessions.

What I can do is help you understand the bigger picture, identify what may be getting in the way and use the approaches that seem most appropriate for you.

I’ll also be honest with you if I think something is outside my scope, needs additional professional support, or a different approach would make more sense.

The work is collaborative. I bring my experience, tools and support, but neither of us can responsibly promise exactly what the outcome will be before we begin.

Belief Coding® can be used to explore physical health symptoms, changes in the body and the wider experience of living with a health condition or something that has changed physically.

This is a particular area of interest in my work. I’ve worked with people who have reported changes in physical symptoms, including pain, and I’m a co-author of published menopause research in which participants reported reductions across 19 menopausal symptom areas following the intervention.

Sometimes people notice a change in the physical symptom itself. Sometimes the symptom may still be present, but their experience of it changes. It may feel less disruptive, less distressing or have less impact on how they live.

We may also work with things such as anxiety, confidence, self-belief, past experiences, emotional responses, habits or behaviours when these appear to be connected to what is happening with someone’s health or body.

I can’t promise that a physical symptom will reduce, and I don’t claim that an emotion, belief or subconscious pattern caused a health condition. What I am interested in is how our emotional responses, stress, experiences and subconscious patterns may be influencing how we experience our health and symptoms.

Belief Coding® can be used alongside appropriate medical care to explore those connections and what might change when some of that additional load is reduced.

No. You don’t need to work out whether you need coaching, Belief Coding®, breathwork, nutrition support or something else before you come to me.

That’s one of the reasons I start with a TLC Space session. We look at what’s happening with your health, body or life, what you want to be different and what may be influencing where you are now.

From there, I can draw on my different areas of training and experience and we can decide together what kind of support makes most sense for you.

Sometimes that may be predominantly subconscious work. Sometimes we need to look more closely at health behaviours, nutrition or what’s happening in everyday life. Often, it’s a combination.

You don’t need to choose the method. We start with you and work from there.

A TLC Space is a 1:1 online session where we take time to look at what’s happening with your health, body or life, what you want to be different and what may be influencing where you are now.

You don’t need to arrive knowing whether you need coaching, Belief Coding®, breathwork, nutrition support or something else. In fact, part of the purpose of the session is to stop you having to work that out for yourself.

We’ll look at the bigger picture together, including what you’re experiencing now, what has changed, what you’ve already tried and anything else that may be relevant. I can then draw on my different areas of training and experience to help us identify what might make sense to explore or work with next.

Sometimes the TLC Space itself can give you greater clarity about what may be going on and where you could start making changes yourself. If I think further support could be useful, I’ll explain what I would recommend and why. That might involve one particular approach or a combination of different parts of The TLC Way™.

There’s no obligation to continue working with me afterwards. If you decide not to, the intention is that you still leave with a better understanding of your own bigger picture and some idea of where you could begin from here.

If you do decide to continue into an eligible programme or block of sessions, the £97 you’ve paid for your TLC Space will be deducted from the cost, so you’re not paying for that starting point twice.

Coaching and subconscious work can both help create change, but they work in different ways.

Coaching tends to work more consciously. We can explore what’s happening now, what you want to change, the choices and behaviours that may be influencing it, what’s getting in the way and what you can practically do from here.

Subconscious work such as Belief Coding® goes beneath some of that conscious thinking. It can help us explore beliefs, emotional responses, memories and patterns that may be influencing how you feel or respond, even when logically you know what you want to do differently.

I don’t see them as competing approaches. Sometimes understanding something consciously is enough to create change. Other times you can know exactly what you “should” be doing and still find yourself unable to follow through, or repeatedly responding in ways you don’t fully understand.

That’s where exploring what may be happening beneath the conscious level can be particularly useful.

Within The TLC Way™, I can work with both, rather than expecting every problem to be solved at only one level.

Yes. Weight management can mean losing weight, gaining weight, maintaining it, or simply feeling more comfortable and consistent with how you look after your body.

My approach isn’t about putting you on another short-term diet or expecting you to follow a rigid plan forever. We can look at nutrition and the practical behaviours that support your goal, but also at what may be making those behaviours easier or harder to maintain.

That might include appetite, food choices, cravings, food noise, routines, emotional responses, stress, movement, previous dieting experiences, beliefs about food or your body, and patterns that seem to keep returning even when you consciously know what you want to do differently.

Depending on what we uncover, we can work practically with nutrition and behaviour change and, where appropriate, use approaches such as Belief Coding® or breathwork to explore some of the emotional or subconscious factors that may also be influencing your experience.

The aim isn’t simply to help you reach a number on the scales. It’s to make the behaviours that support your health and weight feel increasingly like part of how you live, rather than something you constantly have to force yourself to stick to.

Yes. Cravings, food noise and emotional eating aren’t always simply a lack of willpower or nutrition knowledge.

We can look at the practical side, including whether you’re eating enough, what you’re eating, meal patterns, habits and the situations in which cravings or food noise tend to appear.

But I’m also interested in what may be happening underneath the behaviour. Food can become connected with comfort, reward, stress, restriction, emotions, routines, past experiences and beliefs, sometimes without us consciously recognising the connection.

This is where my combination of nutrition, behaviour change and subconscious work can be particularly useful. We can work with what is happening practically while also exploring why certain urges or patterns may feel so strong in the first place.

The aim isn’t to make you frightened of certain foods or dependent on willpower. It’s to help food take up an appropriate amount of space in your life, while making choices that support your health and goals feel easier and more natural over time.

Yes. If you’re using a GLP-1 medication as part of medically supported weight management, my work can sit alongside that treatment rather than competing with it.

Medication can have a significant effect on appetite, fullness and food noise, which can make changing eating behaviours feel very different. I think that can also be a valuable opportunity to build the nutrition knowledge, routines and behaviours that support your health and the way you want to live longer term.

We can also explore some of the things medication alone may not address, such as your relationship with food and your body, emotional eating, previous dieting experiences, habitual responses, beliefs or subconscious patterns that may have influenced your eating or weight over time.

That matters because reaching a particular weight and feeling equipped to live comfortably and consistently at that weight aren’t necessarily the same thing.

I won’t advise you to change or stop prescribed medication. My role is to support the wider picture, so whether you continue medication long term or eventually stop it with appropriate medical guidance, you’ve had the opportunity to work on more than the number on the scales.

My approach isn’t about giving you another set of rules to follow until you reach a particular weight.

Nutrition matters, and we can absolutely look at what you’re eating, what your body needs and the practical changes that could support your goal. But knowing what to do and being able to live that way consistently are two different things.

That’s why I’m also interested in what influences your choices when real life gets involved: hunger and appetite, food noise, cravings, habits, stress, emotions, previous dieting experiences, your relationship with your body, and the beliefs or subconscious patterns that may be making certain behaviours harder to change.

We can work with those different layers rather than expecting willpower to hold everything together.

The goal is for the changes you make to become increasingly normal and natural within your life, so you’re not permanently “on a diet” or waiting for the day you can finally go back to living normally.

Breathwork uses intentional breathing patterns to influence how you feel physically and emotionally. Depending on the type of session, it can be deeply relaxing or a more active experience.

In my 1:1 breathwork sessions, I guide you through the breathing technique throughout, with music and verbal guidance to support the experience. I may also incorporate distance Reiki alongside the breathwork.

People can experience breathwork very differently. Some notice physical sensations, emotions, memories or insights coming up, while others experience a sense of release, calm, clarity or simply feel deeply rested afterwards.

I use different styles of breathwork depending on what we’re trying to achieve, rather than assuming everybody needs the same experience. It can also be incorporated into wider work within The TLC Way™ where it feels appropriate.

You don’t need to be experienced at breathwork, particularly flexible, spiritual or “good at breathing” to take part. I guide you through the process and adapt the session where needed.

Yes. My breathwork sessions are delivered online, so you can experience the session privately from your own home.

That’s a deliberate choice. From my own experience of breathwork, I often get more from a session when I’m in a room on my own. I can close my eyes, focus on what I’m experiencing and become much less aware of what anybody else might be doing or thinking.

A 1:1 session also gives me the opportunity to tailor the experience to you, how you’re feeling and what you want from the session. Depending on what feels appropriate, we may use more active conscious connected breathwork or a gentler, more restorative style.

I guide you throughout the session online and may also incorporate distance Reiki alongside the breathwork.

Some people come specifically for the breathwork experience, while for others it becomes one part of wider work we’re doing around their health, body, emotional wellbeing or behaviour.

You don’t need any previous breathwork experience. We’ll discuss anything relevant beforehand so I can make sure the session is appropriate for you and adapt the experience where needed.

A group Belief Coding® session usually has a shared theme that we’re exploring together, but each person works privately with their own memories, beliefs, emotions and experiences connected to that theme.

I guide everyone through the structured Belief Coding® process at the same time, but you don’t need to tell me or the group what is coming up for you. Your personal experience can remain completely private.

My group sessions are held online, so you can take part from your own space. For some people, that makes it easier to relax into the process because they’re not sitting in a room feeling conscious of who might be watching them or what other people are experiencing.

You still have the shared experience of working on a common theme as part of a group, while the actual work you’re doing beneath that theme is individual to you.

That means ten people could attend a session on the same theme and uncover completely different memories, beliefs or connections, because we’re not assuming the same thing sits underneath it for everyone.

Group breathwork sessions are guided online experiences where everyone follows the same breathing journey while having their own individual experience within it.

I guide you throughout using breath, music and verbal guidance, and I may also incorporate distance Reiki into the session.

Although you’re part of a group, you can join from your own private space. This is one of the reasons I deliberately offer my breathwork online. I know from my own experience that I can often relax more deeply when I’m not aware of other people physically around me.

That can be particularly helpful with breathwork because people may experience emotions, physical sensations, memories, insights, release or deep relaxation. You don’t need to worry about what anybody else is doing, and there’s no expectation to perform or have a particular kind of experience.

You get the shared experience of being guided through the session together, while still being able to close your eyes, focus entirely on yourself and experience whatever comes up for you privately.

You don’t need any previous breathwork experience, and I’ll explain how to take part safely before we begin.

Not every type of Belief Coding® or breathwork session will be appropriate for everyone, which is why I ask about relevant health conditions, medications and personal circumstances before you take part.

More active breathwork practices can have specific contraindications and may need to be adapted or avoided with certain medical conditions, during pregnancy or in other circumstances. Where appropriate, I may recommend a gentler breathing practice instead.

Belief Coding® can also bring up emotions, memories or experiences, so there may be circumstances where a particular session isn’t appropriate or where additional or specialist support would be better suited to what you need.

This doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t work with me. It may simply mean we choose a different approach or adapt how we work together.

You’ll receive more detailed safety information and screening relevant to the specific service when you book, and I’ll always encourage you to seek appropriate medical or professional advice where needed.

I deliberately offer my sessions online because, for many people, being in their own environment can make it easier to relax, focus on themselves and engage more fully with the experience.

That was important for me personally. There have been times in my own life when I wasn’t ready to walk into a room full of people, and I know I can become more aware of the people around me than of what is happening within me. Being able to experience this work privately from home gave me something I needed, and I want that option to be available to other people too.

This can be particularly valuable with Belief Coding® and breathwork, where emotions, memories, physical sensations or other unexpected experiences can sometimes arise. At home, you can create a private space, close your eyes and focus on yourself without feeling watched or comparing your experience with anybody else’s.

The same applies to my group sessions. You can benefit from being guided through a shared experience while still having the privacy of your own space.

Online won’t be everybody’s preference, and that’s completely fine. There are practitioners who offer in-person sessions. I’ve deliberately chosen to give my time to people for whom being able to access this work from their own space may actually make it easier to begin.

My programmes are designed around the person rather than expecting everyone to follow exactly the same process.

We start by understanding what you want to change, what may be influencing where you are now and what seems most relevant to work with first. From there, I can draw on different parts of The TLC Way™, including Belief Coding®, coaching and behaviour change, breathwork, nutrition and health education, depending on what you need.

There will be structure and a direction we’re working towards, but I don’t believe in taking ten people with ten different lives, bodies and experiences and assuming they all need exactly the same intervention at exactly the same point.

Some of the most useful work can also come from what we uncover along the way, so there is room for the programme to respond to you rather than forcing you to fit the programme.

The aim is not simply to get you through a set number of sessions or modules. It’s to help you understand yourself and what supports change well enough that what you’re doing can begin to carry into everyday life.

My subconscious sessions are shaped by more than my training in Belief Coding®. I also bring 23 years of healthcare experience alongside training in nutrition, health, coaching, behaviour change and breathwork, so I may notice connections or ask questions from a wider health and behaviour perspective as we work.

The process itself is also collaborative. You’re not placed into a trance or asked to hand control over to me. You remain aware and involved throughout, and we work with the beliefs, memories, emotions and connections that come up for you.

When we introduce new perspectives or ways of thinking, these are built around your own words, experiences and what you want to be different, rather than me deciding what you should believe or simply giving your subconscious a predetermined message.

That wider background is particularly important in the work I’m most interested in: health, physical symptoms, the body, eating and weight, and the behaviours and emotional responses that can become connected with them.

It means I’m not only listening for a belief to “clear”. I’m interested in how what comes up might connect with your health, behaviour, nutrition, experiences and everyday life, and whether there are other areas we need to explore or support alongside the subconscious work.

I don’t believe one method explains everything. That’s one of the reasons my work has developed into The TLC Way™, where subconscious work can be powerful in its own right but can also sit alongside practical health and behaviour change when that’s what the person needs.

Yes. I don’t believe support should necessarily end the moment a session or programme finishes.

Depending on how we’ve worked together, follow-up is built into the experience. After coaching, and particularly after breathwork, there will usually be a follow-up around one week later and again at around four weeks.

With breathwork, there may also be additional check-ins following a session where appropriate. That will depend on your individual experience, what came up during the session and what support makes sense for you afterwards.

For people completing a programme, we’ll also look at how you continue using what you’ve learned and integrating the changes into everyday life rather than simply reaching the final session and stopping.

I’m also developing longer-term ways for people who have worked with me to remain connected to The TLC Way™, with opportunities for continued support, group experiences, breathwork, subconscious work, health and behaviour support, and additional tools and resources.

The exact membership options are still being developed, but the intention is to provide somewhere you can continue the work without necessarily needing another full programme.

I understand that plans sometimes need to change, so where possible individual appointments can be rescheduled with at least 48 hours’ notice.

If less than 48 hours’ notice is given, the session will normally be forfeited and a replacement session would need to be purchased. Different arrangements may apply to group programmes or scheduled group experiences where dates are fixed.

If you purchase a service or programme online, you may also have a legal 14-day cancellation period. If you ask me to begin providing the service during that period and then choose to cancel, you may still be entitled to a refund, but you will be responsible for the value of any sessions or services already provided.

Once the applicable cancellation period has passed, payments are generally non-refundable, although eligible individual appointments can still be rearranged in line with the 48-hour rescheduling policy.

The full terms, including the arrangements for programmes, session blocks, group experiences and services that begin within the 14-day cancellation period, will be provided before you purchase.

It’s completely reasonable to think carefully about where you spend your money, and I would never suggest investing in working with me if doing so would put you under financial pressure.

But if the money is available and you’re still unsure whether you can justify spending it on yourself, I think there’s another question worth considering too: what is staying where you are already costing you?

Not only financially, but in your energy, confidence, health, relationships, opportunities, enjoyment of life or the things you keep saying you’ll do when you feel better, have more energy or finally get this part of your life sorted.

You might also ask yourself: if this was no longer taking up so much space in my life, what might I be doing differently?

That doesn’t automatically mean working with me is the right decision. Sometimes the answer genuinely is “not now”.

But I think the decision deserves to be considered from both sides: the investment involved in trying to change something, and the potential cost of continuing as you are.

Being part of the published menopause research gave me far more than a research paper to add to my credentials. It gave me the opportunity to work with and observe women with very different lives, experiences and combinations of physical, psychological and cognitive symptoms.

In the study, 64 women aged 39–60 received a single structured psychological intervention. Symptoms were measured across 19 areas before the session, immediately afterwards and again at one and four weeks. Significant reductions were reported across all 19 symptom areas, with changes also seen in physical and vasomotor symptoms as well as psychological and cognitive symptoms. The researchers were clear that further controlled research is needed to establish causation and longer-term effects.

For me as a practitioner, one of the most valuable parts was seeing first-hand that people can arrive with similar labels or symptoms but have very different things connected to their experience. What seemed particularly relevant for one person wasn’t necessarily what another person needed.

It also gave me greater confidence to stay curious about physical health. I’d already experienced unexpected changes in my own body and health through this kind of work, but seeing meaningful changes reported across a much larger and varied group made me less inclined to dismiss those experiences as simply being unique to me.

That doesn’t mean I assume something that helped with menopausal symptoms will automatically work for every health condition. What I took from the experience was a much deeper understanding of how individual this work can be, how much may sit around a physical symptom, and why the same approach or number of sessions won’t necessarily be right for everybody.

That experience now influences how I work far beyond menopause. When somebody comes into a TLC Space session, I’m not only listening to the symptom or label they arrived with. I’m looking at the person experiencing it, what else may be influencing their health and life, and what combination of support might make the most sense for them.
