PRACTITIONERS OF ALTERNATIVE / COMPLEMENTARY / MEDICAL TECHNIQUES FOR HEALTH & WELLBEING

Dave Allaway
Certified Trainer of NLP, consultant, coach, and therapist.
What I do:
Executive coaching is a medium-term close relationship between Dave and you, to enable you to avoid those old pitfalls and generate exciting opportunities for enhancing your professional life.
Life coaching is a means of developing a close working
relationship to enable you to find out who you are, what you want out of life, and how you can get there.
Solution-focussed therapy. For many reasons we sometimes find ourselves at the end or our tether, or, in some way, “stuck”. Simply put, we run out of choices in how to change how we think or act. Utilising both NLP and hypnotherapy, Dave actively works to take you to your own desires.
Whichever 1:1 relationship you wish to build, Dave draws on a variety of skills, backed up by a deep belief in the value of human life and each person's right to enjoy contributing to the human endeavour.
