Close the Gap

Where you are. Where you want to be.
It's that simple.

Maybe you know exactly what you want to change. Maybe you just know that where you are now isn't where you want to stay. Either way, the work starts in the same place: understanding what's actually keeping the gap open and changing it.

The problem isn't always where you think it is.

Most of us naturally focus on what's happening at the surface. The stress. The behaviour. The physical response. The thing you keep avoiding. The decision you can't make. The outcome you keep getting.

​

Those things are real. But they're also the result.

​

Underneath them are the beliefs, patterns, strategies, values, experiences, and automatic responses that influence how you experience and respond to what's happening around you.

​

That's where things get interesting.

Meet Kirsty

I'm probably not what you picture when you think of someone working with NLP and hypnotherapy.

​

My background is in numbers, systems, processes and business as a corporate accountant and advisor in large national and global organisations, and later building my own analytics business.  Which turns out to be surprisingly useful when you're working with people.  Because whether you're looking at a business or a person, what's happening on the surface doesn't always tell you what's happening underneath.

 

You can know what you want. Have a perfectly sensible plan for what you should do next. And still find yourself somewhere else. 

​

Today, my work combines that analytical way of looking at problems with NLP, Time Line Therapy™ and Clinical Hypnotherapy. So we'll get curious about what's actually happening. How you're creating it. What patterns are running underneath it. And what needs to change for you to get somewhere different.

​

It's practical, grounded and sometimes a little left of centre. There'll be things that make complete sense. There may be things that make you wonder what on earth we're doing.  That's okay.

​

Because if we did what you already know, you wouldn't be here.

“I didn't anticipate for it to work so soon.
I didn't think it was possible, yet here I am.”

What if what feels possible right now isn't the limit of what's actually possible?

What would you like to be different?

Sometimes it's obvious. Sometimes it's a collection of little things that have slowly become normal. You might recognise yourself in some of these:

“I want to feel more confident in myself and my decisions.”

“I'm carrying too much and I'm bloody tired."

“I know what I want, but something keeps getting in the way.”

“I keep questioning decisions I've already made.”

“Stress seems to show up physically for me.”​

Or maybe none of those quite describe it. That's okay.

You don't need a perfect label for what's happening or what you want. 

We can work together to define what you'd rather have instead.

The problem you experience is the
starting point.

01

What you're experiencing

This is the part you already know.

Stress. Pressure. Fear. Physical responses.

Low confidence. Overthinking. Habits. Avoidance. Feeling stuck. Or simply not getting the result you want.

​

It gives us somewhere to start.

02

What's creating it?

This is where we go underneath the obvious. Beliefs. Patterns. Strategies. Values. Past experiences. Automatic responses. The way you've learned to organise and respond to your world.

​

Rather than only asking what you think, feel, or do, we become interested in how you're creating that experience.

03

What do you want instead?

This is where the work stays focused.

Not endlessly analysing what's wrong.

Not changing who you are.

​

Changing the things that no longer serve where you're going — so you can move towards what you actually want.

9.8 / 10

Average client impact rating

On a scale of change, where 10 is immediate, profound, and materially significant, clients rate their experience 9.8.

​

“I feel much lighter, like the weight has lifted off my shoulders. I feel like the cloud of uncertainty about the future has lifted, and I feel more positive about the future.”

“The ‘NYSE ticker’ has stopped running across my mind 24x7! This means that I've calmed down and can focus better on what matters most.”

“I have more awareness and space to clear the roadblocks. I can see more possibilities - ones that I have previously held strong beliefs around and refused to let go.”

“My perspective on achieving my goal is clearer and more defined. It feels more realistic and possible than I thought before. I have more awareness and space to clear the roadblocks. I can see more possibilities.”

Different starting points. Different outcomes.

The common thread is movement away from what's keeping you where you are, and towards what you actually want.

Expect something different

It's difficult to explain this work perfectly before you've experienced it.

And that's kind of the point.

Some of what we do will make complete logical sense. Some of it might seem a little unusual. And sometimes you won't quite understand why we're doing something until you notice what's different afterwards.

The work is experiential. It's individual. And it won't always look like you expect it to.

One of the best pieces of advice a client has given about the process is simply:​ Trust the Process​

​

The work may draw on NLP, Time Line Therapy™ and Clinical Hypnotherapy, alongside a practical understanding of how people think, respond and create patterns.

You don't need to understand the techniques.

You just need to experience what happens when we use them.

Where you are isn't where you have to stay.

You don't need to know which technique you need.

You don't need to diagnose the problem.

And you definitely don't need to have figured out exactly why it's happening.

Start somewhere much simpler.
