Life Coaching & NLP: We offer a confidential and safe environment to explore and understand where clients currently are personally or professionally and to begin to move forward at their own pace. Ross adopts a client-centred approach to support clients in achieving what they want, assisting them in making permanent change and increasing confidence, self esteem and general feeling of wellbeing along the way. Ross's coaching style ranges from mindful and exploratory, to direct and results-oriented, depending on clients' own particular needs, drawing on NLP techniques where appropriate and helpful. Working with Ross, you will feel listened to, supported and understood.

Professional Hypnotherapy: Hypnosis is a completely natural state of mind. When in hypnosis you will feel very relaxed and it can be similar to day dreaming. The state of relaxation, often referred to as trance, is a natural state similar to the feeling just before we fall asleep or when waking - when we are relaxed, comfortable and at ease. When in this state of deep relaxation, it becomes much more easy to access the subconscious mind and visualise your goals. At Ross Deuchar Coaching, we provide the opportunity to engage in hypnotherapy for a wide range of issues, including: phobias; stopping smoking; weight loss; generalised stress and anxiety; relationship issues; enhancing sporting performance. Location: The ARK Studio, Milngavie [Flexible timings, depending on coach and client availability].

Mindfulness & Breathing Programmes: Mindfulness has been described as ‘paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non judgmentally’ (Kabat-Zinn, 2005). As such, this dispassionate state of self-observation is thought to ‘introduce a space between one’s perception and response’ and enable one to respond to situations more reflectively (Bishop et al., 2004). Forty years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn realised the transformative potential of mindfulness and translated the ancient practices of cultivating mindfulness into western medical contexts. We support clients in making positive changes to their lives through introducing them to a range of mindfulness practices, supported by therapeutic breathing exercises and [where relevant and helpful] cold water therapy. We offer a range of group or one-to-one sessions and full programmes. Location: The ARK Studio, Milngavie [Flexible timings, depending on coach and client availability].
