How it works
‘Until we make the unconscious conscious, it will control our lives and we will call it fate.”
Carl Jung
The starting point is a willingness to examine the ordinary.
As Dr Wayne Dyer suggested; “If you want to know what programmes your unconscious mind is running, look at your life today.”
The programmes our unconscious mind runs control our behaviour approximately 90% of the time. Most of these programmes were ‘downloaded’ without our awareness prior to the age of 8.
What makes it even more interesting is that when we are busy thinking, our subconscious programmes take over. This can mean that we get more of what we are currently doing; in effect, we can’t THINK our way out of our current state. We have to hack the programme. To do this, we have to be willing to examine the ordinary, to make the unconscious conscious.
Unlock the programmes with support, rewrite them either with hypnosis or by implementing new patterns of behaviour. But first you need to know what it is that has to be changed.

Performance Coaching transforms your dream into a successful project. Here’s what people are saying about my work:
“I approached Alan looking for an additional edge in my career as a top-level executive in a financial services firm.
In just two sessions we were able to identify negative thought patterns, deal with conflicting beliefs and wants (work life balance, quality over quantity, insecurity about being good enough) and consolidate them into a holistic approach to both work and life which was always there, hiding under all the noise.”
George. Financial Service, Cyprus
I was in a place in my athletic career that I could no longer meditate or use positive self talk to correct my mental block. I either had to find some way to “fix” my brain or I would have to quit. I was very aware that I was my own worst enemy but I couldn’t figure out how to overcome my fear and self doubt.
Working with Alan hasn’t just helped me work through fears to return to sport, but it has actually changed the way I think to a way I never knew was possible. The only way to describe working with Alan is that it has been a journey over the last 2 years, which has enabled me to develop techniques to fall back on when I become overwhelmed to help calm down and find confidence.
Alan helped me get my ability to perform under pressure back and I now feel ready for any curve ball life can throw at me. I feel like I understand who I am and how my brain works. It was emotional and at times hard, but it also one of the most rewarding truths I have ever found.’
Alysia Rissling – Olympic Bobsleigh Athlete – Canada
At some point in the last few years I realised that I had lost interest in my professional life, I had stopped caring and felt as if I was on a path without choice or control.
It was at this time that I started with Alan. Initially if felt like straightforward conversations with a friend who cared, but gradually I realised that the compassion and understanding given during the sessions was equal to my own troubles. For the first time I felt that somebody wanted to know the real me, not the outwards, everyday me. We explored the roots of my values, much of it was distressing, but that was part of breaking free. This allowed me to start to choose what I wanted for the first time in my life. With a plan for recovery I went back to work after four months

“I was introduced to Alan at a difficult period in my life. Working with Alan was hugely beneficial, both emotionally and mentally. I felt at ease in Alan’s company and trusted him completely to enable me to work through various techniques that he felt relevant. He has had a positive impact on how I approach difficult situations, and challenges. Working through this with Alan has been a positive experience, and shifted my mindset on how to overcome day to day emotional obstacles, issues and concerns. I found the whole process very helpful, I didn’t really know what to expect, and at times found things quite over whelming, but looking back on where we started, to how I feel now, it feels like a lifetime ago feeling that low. If anything, I feel happier than I have in years”
Louise – Media – Greater London
I was introduced to Alan after a mentor said “you don’t need a coach you need an awakening” – this came after yet another professional assessment that told me all I already knew about myself but I still felt stuck and unable to break through this invisible mental barrier that I knew was standing in my way of being my true authentic self.
Through Alan’s wonderful approach, I went back into my history, Alan’s wonderful tone and manner helped me see that part of me was stuck in my six year old self, thinking I wasn’t good enough at something I loved to do – dance.
With interesting twists and turns I came to the realisation that I had lost my ability to find joy in life, everything seemed too serious and I had created this cloak of expectations of what I should be like, not who I truly am.
Through some deep sole searching and help from Alan, I declared my pathway back to finding joy and serenity – I call it “Dancing back to Joy” – my awakening with Alan has helped me redirect the course of my life. Lots of learning to do, and I am practicing everyday but I am smelling the roses, and seeing perfection and joy even on the gloomiest days. I can’t thank Alan enough and would highly recommend working with him.

It is very difficult and valuable to find someone who not only understand your difficulties and challenges, but also gives you an outside perspective. With all your knowledge and experience are just that rate person: You reflect on situations and gently push toward possible solutions. You help people to not feel lonely in business.
