Psychotherapy
Welcome to this page on my website which will give you an insight into how I work as a therapist and why.
If you find yourself at a stage in your life where you need help with difficulties or transitions I will endeavour to help or refer you to a suitable like minded, trained and experienced practitioner.
Why Therapy? Surely we are all equipped and have loving families and friends..?
It is quite normal to gain support with therapy. Non-judgmental, safe and confidential. Life can be very complex for us and sometimes our friends and families are not equipped to deal with things you may carry as we would like. It may even affect them too on a personal level. This can cause even more pain and arguments than necessary as feelings of not being understood, being truly heard or even 'disrespected' can get in the way.
Why from Gladiators, TV and teaching to Therapist?
Following my accident on Gladiators I chose to re-think my goals and life through. Although performing TV and theatre had been my main focus along with teaching in Fitness, I had always since being very young wanted to know more about the brain, the mind and how we function as individuals and with others.
My accident and journey into the public eye as 'JET' led me to ask many questions. Such as, 'What am I doing this for?' It may have been possibly, internal satisfaction or external approval. In this modern day, many people do aspire for fame and fortune, it is a very normal and human thing, but it just depends to what degree and cost, and so I asked the question, was it worth it for me? Health and mental well being come from a different sense of knowing and confidence and life experience. Admittedly, two of those traits I had but within the limitations of my skills and abilities. So, once I had recovered and having made the decision to leave the show, I set out on my long journey to be a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. This took a number of years to complete, even the foundation of practitioner status.
To compliment this training, I have since gone on to expand my work with Neuro Linguistic Programming. (NLP) very much focuses on the present to release motivational energy for your future. With my clients, I have designed a performance pyramid, which takes the client through a number of stages, from Processing, through to resolving, then into strategizing for present and future happiness.
Mind science and neuro technology is all about the way the brain sequences, stores and uses memory, and the chemistry behind the process to create feelings. This is an area I continue to work with in my own development and research. It is a very exciting time for Psychology in general and I personally and professionally enjoy the field of study.
As well as working one on one, I work with groups in a fun, educational and insightful manner with my Core Philosophy seminars within a lecture room / conference room setting. It is here, that I combine much of my learning in the Mind, Body and Spirit.

What is a Limiting Belief?
This is a belief you may hold, or an assumption you may have made about yourself or the world you live in, and it is holding you back by stopping you from getting on with your life. There are many reasons for limiting beliefs and with the help of Diane she can identify the cause and the effects by unpicking the old habits and programmes that can create such unresourceful feelings, situations, habits and lifestyles.
