I am delighted to offer Life coaching, and also TRE (therapeutic / neurogenic tremoring) for individuals and group work as part of my practice.

Both coaching and TRE can be held in person in my Warwick studio, or remotely via zoom. These practices work individually, but also in compliment with each other in support of human growth and wellbeing.

A series of 6 sessions of 60-90 minutes is a good starting point. A 1:1 coaching conversation or TRE with me costs £70 for up to 90 minutes for private clients. Prices for one off sessions, group work and other arrangements by negotiation.

Please get in touch to find out more or to book a session. Hayley@alittlebitdistracted.com

What is Coaching and how is it useful?

Coaching is ideal for personal development, overcoming ‘stuckness’, dealing with recurring issues and challenges, increasing confidence, changing and/or developing direction in life or in work.

Coaching is not counselling, although it may touch on some elements that seem similar. Get in touch for a chemistry chat to sense if the working dynamic feels like a useful fit for your needs.

I welcome in particular, clients who recognise Neuro-divergent conditions in themselves - autism, adhd, dyslexia, dyspraxia etc. For many neurodivergent people there will be unique challenges around anxiety, and lack of helpful or sustainable coping strategies. I can support clients to explore how neurodivergent conditions can impact life and wellbeing, as well as finding ways to understand yourself in the context of those challenges and work to build agency and self determination.

I operate under the framework of the Social Model of Disability. All of my work seeks to expand knowledge around, and precipitate a celebration of, human difference in all its forms. If the scope of the issues that a person may want to address is beyond my skills set or competence, I may advise a referral on to more specialist support.

With a range of techniques and approaches available, I can offer a tailored and nuanced approach to individuals seeking to work with me.

What is TRE? (Trauma or Tension release exercises)

Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (or TRE®) is a simple yet innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma.

Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.

Shaking is the natural way to release tension and return the body to its normal homeostasis. It is a primal impulse to a stressful situation. Animals naturally shake to release tension after a life-threatening event. You may also have noticed your dog shaking when he is nervous or excited!

What can TRE help with?

Worry and anxiety, Symptoms of PTSD, energy and endurance, interpersonal relationships, workplace stress, sleep, relationship conflict, muscle and back pain. This is not a complete list but indicates some of the reported areas of benefit from clients of TRE.

Why do I offer TRE?

Neurogenic shaking has been part of my personal practice for over 35 years. TRE offers a framework for understanding and accessing this most natural of mammalian responses to nervous system activation; shaking! I am delighted to be able to offer this protocol to others as part of a suite of somatic and talking techniques we might employ in a coaching relationship, to suit the individual.

TRE can be safely practiced and adapted for most people, and once learned can be done on your own. For deeper work and some emotional or physical issues, it is advisable to continue to do TRE undercontinued supervision so that it remains safe for the individual. I can advise accordingly.
