About Me

My journey into coaching and therapeutic work started with a deep passion for understanding the mind and human behaviour.

I’ve always been fascinated by why we think, feel and act the way we do. This led me to study Psychology and Human Biology at sixth form and later Hypnotherapy as a mature student. That course introduced me to an incredible group of hypnotherapists, each of us sharing insights that seemed like small shifts in perspective but created big, life-changing results.

Alongside this, I worked with a great NLP trainer. I didn’t just learn about human behaviour, I experienced how NLP provides solutions to problems, by working through my mind. That deep understanding now allows me to empathise fully with my clients without needing them to relive their deepest struggles.

I’ve since studied multiple disciplines, all shaping how I help parents move from stress and frustration to confidence and connection.

My Approach

Each method I use has played a key role in how I guide parents today:

  • Hypnotherapy – Showed me how deeply ingrained patterns affect us and how simple shifts can create long-lasting change.

  • IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) – Helped me see the blind spots and chronic patterns that hold people back. During training, I worked with people from all over the world, including war-torn countries, where I witnessed powerful transformations in just moments.

  • NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) – The foundation of every interaction I have. It’s about understanding the small, subconscious details - body language, voice tone, even breathing, that shape how we communicate. NLP also fuels my creative side, helping clients experience powerful lightbulb moments.

“Janette is incredible at gently helping me uncover the root of my issues. Using various techniques she has opened my eyes as to why I react to things the way I do, and I understand so much more about myself. If I am struggling with anything, Janette is my first port of call to speak to in order to make sense of things. I am truly grateful to have her in my life."

Real-Life Experience

Beyond my training, my personal and professional life has given me hands-on experience in working with children, parents and families: 

  • Nannying for children with special needs, both physical and mental, taught me patience, adaptability and how to meet children where they are.

  • Balancing daily client sessions with family life gives me first-hand insight into real parenting challenges.

  • Working closely with my son’s school has shown me that when parents and educators work together, new possibilities open up.

  • Volunteering with young carers has been humbling, watching these young girls support each other with such acceptance and resilience is inspiring.

  • Future Plans: I believe in paying it forward, which is why I’m working on launching a charity initiative for teen homeschoolers, helping them build confidence, resilience and real-world skills. This project is close to my heart, offering young people the chance to develop essential life skills in a supportive, empowering environment. (Watch this space!)

Professional Associations

Being a member of professional associations is more than just a title to me, it represents my commitment to ethical practice and lifelong learning.

  • The National Hypnotherapy Society

  • The Association for IEMT Practitioners

  • Richard Bandler Approved NLP Courses

And yes, I absolutely love learning!

Why I Do This Work

Parenting isn’t about following a rulebook (if only it were that easy!). It’s about understanding yourself, your patterns and how they shape your connection with your child.


I’m not here to tell you how to parent. My role is to help you uncover what’s unconsciously guiding your reactions so you can make intentional, confident parenting choices


Every session I have with my clients is deeply fulfilling and I’m truly grateful that they trust me to be part of their journey.
If you're ready to explore this new way of parenting, I’d love to support you.
