Justin is an Emotional Wellbeing Coach. He helps people to improve their mental and emotional health to new thriving levels. This means working on better daily emotional management so you develop better mental health.

His work is person centred, so it involves getting to the root of your core problem and revealing the limiting patterns of behaviour and thinking playing out in the background, and then developing new strategies and new ways of thinking and behaving over time. The key for him lies at the root of our emotions and getting to know how we feel on a daily basis.

This slow habit that you work on together in his coaching programme has the effect of empowering people to observe, accept and utilise their emotions; rather than feeling overwhelmed, stressed and fearful.

The tools he uses in his work range from having powerful coaching conversations and using intuitive techniques, to guiding a person to their heart so they can ultimately live a life with more confidence and purpose. He also works with sound healing using mainly Tibetan bowls, and other sound instruments, to bring about a deeper sense of relaxation and peace in a person, helping then to let go of tension and stress in the mind and body.
