Hello I’m Sallie!
When you have a serious illness or a life-changing event it is stressful on so many levels. Until you have experienced it yourself you have no idea of the trauma it can cause. It’s not just the physical self that is affected; your emotional health feels the massive impact too. These can manifest as fear, anxiety, lack of confidence and changes to sleep patterns to mention just a few. Then there is the effect on family and friends, the changes to your lifestyle, driving, the workplace and running the home. It can be such an overwhelming experience.
Luckily the NHS is fabulous; they fix the physical and primary symptoms. We have available cardiologists, oncologists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, rehabilitation programmes and counselling. But not everyone takes up these opportunities. I recently surveyed 80 people that had experienced a cardiac event 30% said they had not attended cardio rehabilitation. 72% expressed that they didn’t get all of the support they felt they needed and would see a therapist that offered a range of complementary therapies.
I’m so lucky to be alive
During February 2016, I ruptured my Achilles tendon doing a Korean martial art called Tang Soo Doo. As if that wasn’t enough to deal with in March I had a heart attack. Like many women, I didn’t realise I was having a cardiac event. I thought I just had a bad case of indigestion. I did have discomfort in both my arms and across my chest but thought that was due to being on crutches. It took 3 days until I went to see my GP and that was only because of indigestion. Just as I was beginning to get my life back on track, only 8 weeks later I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite all this, I see myself as lucky. I can see all the positives and love living life. I really enjoy living in a Cambridgeshire village with my daughter and our pets.

about me
My career was originally in the print, stationery and fulfilment industry. During this time I have attended many training courses in people and management skills including Dale Carnegie, How to handle difficult people, Management counselling, Career coaching, Business organisation and Communication studies. I have spent most of my working life as a manager of various teams.
Sport has always been part of my life and I received a 2nd Dan (black belt) in Shotokan karate and have competed at Crystal Palace. After marriage, I moved to the Huntingdon area in 2002. Later that year I experienced a difficult divorce, becoming a single parent and sustained a major injury.
I had a career change in 2002. I moved into the charity sector, working for the RSPB in the Volunteering Development Department (it’s a bit like the HR department of the unpaid workforce). Once again, I have attended many training courses on personal development, working with people, career coaching and management. I was also involved in delivering various workshops to staff and volunteers.
This was when I realised I had a passion for people and wanted to work with them to attain their hopes, dreams and aspirations.

Code of Conduct
I’m a member of the British Institute of Hypnotherapy (BIH) and a member of the Association for Neuro Linguistic Programming (ANLP). I am obliged to follow their codes of ethics. I am also registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). CNHC provides a complaint procedure and can be contacted by telephone 020 7653 1971 or email info@cnhc.org.uk.
Confidentiality
During our consultation, we will both sign a confidentiality agreement. You can be assured that what takes place during our sessions will remain completely private.
Safeguarding
I hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate. It describes the same level of information as a standard DBS but also included the option for my local police to add all the information they consider relevant. It includes checks against the excluded list of vulnerable adults as part of this check. This check is relevant for when I carry out activities in establishments where I have contact with vulnerable adults, such as 1:1 session, training workshops or nursing homes. I am registered with the DBS Update Service, so checks on my existing certificate can easily be made.
