Hi I’m Jo McAlister
I am a Mindset Coach, business owner, wife and mum to five grown up children. I have worked for over 25 years with individuals to improve their mental wellbeing.
I have an honours degree in Psychology, a Masters in Social Work, am a trained and accredited Counsellor with (BACP).
I am also a master practitioner in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), EFT ( Emotional freedom technique) and have trained in Matrix Reimprinting, Energy Psychology and Stress Management.
In 2014 I spent nine days in hospital following a heart attack. I needed to understand why this happened and more importantly how could it have been prevented.
I had always been fascinated with the unconscious mind and training in NLP reminded me how our thoughts influence all aspects of our life.
Behaviour starts with a thought, which creates a feeling, that ultimately results in behaviour.
I was particularly curious, why some situations, are more stressful for some than others.
The answer became clear, it is how we process information about the world around us.
External information is constantly filtered through a system, unique to everyone, made up of their values, beliefs and experiences.
This ultimately makes you who you are and explains why we all react differently to similar situations.
To make important adjustments to our lives we need to understand how we use and update these filters.
As a Mindset Coach this is my area of expertise.
Stress is like a warning light going on - which needs your attention.
With a Mindset Coach you can address the underlying cause and when you look at life differently your whole life changes.
