Why lose your stress? Stress can have an enormous impact on your life and make you feel like you're not in control anymore.

What's missing in the Quit Smoking Programs currently on offer?
We know that the key lies in the emotional component to smoking - why you picked up the habit in the first place, and why you believe you cannot stop. For example, you might think that quitting will make you too stressed out, and so you talk yourself out of quitting.
Our program is unique because it addresses these emotional aspects, which are essential to your long-term quitting success. Our Quit Smoking Program:
~Helps you identify your emotional blocks to quitting - for example the fear you can't do it, stress, anxiety, guilt, low self-esteem.
~Teaches you easy & effective cutting-edge tools to deal with the emotions behind your habit, the cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
*Offers a comprehensive and individually tailored treatment to meet your needs.
*Utilises a dynamic combination of the latest and most effective known quit smoking treatments currently available, including:
*Hypnotherapy;
*Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT);
*Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT);
*Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP);
*Counselling; Relaxation; Massage & more.
What will it cost you not to try?
From a previous Quit Smoking Client:
"This Program helped me kick the habit after 15 years. Learning techniques to help me get through the cravings has made it easier to quit than when I have tried in the past. Smoking is not only a physical addiction but also an emotional one. To be able to look at these emotional reasons and be guided through how to over come this has been a big break through for me. I highly recommend doing this Program to help you kick the habit. Why struggle on your own?!!" (Fiona Read - Microsoft Australia).
Our professional team are highly trained and are a mixture of registered pscyhologists, psychotherapists, EFT Practitioners, NLP Practitioners and use different modes of treatment for your successful result. We are registered with the relevant professional associations. |

Find Your Direction - Achieve your goals! |
Get back into the driving seat of your life with our coaching package! Our Program will help you clarify your goals and direction and empower you to get there. We are different - we look at your internal state and how to align it with your goals, leaving the path clear to thrive & achieve.
Balmain
Sydney New South Wales
This package consists of 6 x 1 hour sessions with your coach.
These sessions will be spaced fortnightly from the time of your first
session.

homework. These will be relevant to your goals and contribute towards
your progress.

Evening appointments are available, and are in high demand, so be sure to book at least 1-2 weeks ahead for one of those times.
Come with an open mind and a decision to really apply yourself to the process of Positive Change!
You might have heard about Life Coaching and wondered what it is all about. Essentially, one-to-one coaching helps you clarify your goals and your direction. You discover yourself - where you are right now, where you want to be, and how you get there.
Your Positive Change Coach will work to discover the path that you want to be on and equip you with techniques, strategies and action tasks to ensure you can move forward.
Whether you want a new/better career, a happier relationship or a fitter and leaner body, the Find Your Direction Program can help!
Why doesn't everybody achieve their goals? What is stopping YOU? Our experts in the field of Psychology have discovered that one of the main reasons we don't achieve our goals is that we have internal conflicts over where we are going and negative beliefs about our ability to get there.
The minute we decide to change things and set a new goal our limiting beliefs and internal blocks rise up to try to stop us. Fear of failure and fear of success hold most of us back from achieving the life of our dreams. We feel like we can't do it. So we don't try.
Now with our Step into your Future Coaching Program you will learn how to overcome these barriers and internal conflicts and start right now to create the life you've always dreamed of!
What to expect:
You will work with your Coach (who are all experts in the field of Psychology) over 6 x 1 hour sessions, typically spaced a fortnight apart. Coaching is a one-to-one process where you identify the positive changes you want to make in your life and then learn strategies to get there.
Your Coach will create and utilise an individual program for you, aimed at achieving the results you want within a specified timeframe. There will be homework tasks along the way, ensuring your feelings of empowerment and vision are regularly put into practice.
