Renowned Coaching Psychologist Avril Allen has helped countless people improve their relationships, overcome life inhibiting problems and achieve their dreams and goals. Through many years’ experience she combines the art of coaching with practical solution-focused approaches such as NLP and CBT.
She is very good at assisting people to resolve emotional matters in a warm, yet rational, deliberate manner.
Avril’s coaching day was a life transforming experience. Every driven and ambitious individual would benefit from taking a step back, reassessing and learning what is actually going on behind our daily emotions and decision making. Working with avril is like having a personal trainer for your mind or like refreshing your window on the world.
After a prolonged period of work-related stress resulting in burnout in 2019, the long-term after-effects were not going away, and I didn’t want 2022 to follow in the same manner. Although both my professional and home life were being affected, the culture and stigma around mental health in the engineering industry has only recently become a topic that can be comfortably discussed.
From that first session, not only did Avril make me at ease immediately, but her ability to link science to situation to practice was remarkable, not only in coming to terms with my previous experiences but relating them to familiar frames of reference for present and future challenges. Her tools and techniques were wonderful in helping me take back control. On reflection, since coming to the end of my sessions, I realise I’ve experienced several professional challenges where her teaching has helped me embrace a different approach, with a vivid renewed sense of perspective which has improved confidence, performance and wellbeing no end.
My only regret is not contacting her sooner.
I worked with Avril for around 8 months – a period of time in which I learnt a lot about myself, where I was going wrong and how I was going to move forward. I originally contacted Avril struggling with confidence and anxiety in social situations – this was affecting every aspect of my life, such as my job and maintaining and forming of new relationships. Avril has an incredible knowledge of this area, and from the beginning it was quite clear that she understood my problems and knew how to help solve them. Unlike counsellors I had worked with in the past, it was Avril’s coaching element and structure that I found so useful – the modules she provides, along with the thought diary and homework that she sets provide the solid foundations and framework that I needed in order move forward.
Although Avril is very professional, she also has a good sense of humour and you feel at ease when talking to her. In looking back at where I was when I first started, the progress I have made is brilliant and I can recommend working with Avril as a sound investment for anybody looking to enhance their personal development.
