Emotional Change Coaching Leicester & Online
Support for capable people who feel stuck or stressed - even though they’ve tried to make sense of it.
Most people who seek my help aren’t in crisis. They’re getting on with life and holding things together.
But - underneath - they feel unsettled, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift. No matter how much they understand them.
You may recognise yourself in one or more of these:
You’re capable, but constantly stressed and rarely fully switched off
You feel low in self-worth or mood, or feel disconnected from who you used to be
You’re dealing with a loss or major life changes that are still affecting you
You want to perform better - at work or in life - without burning out
You keep repeating emotional patterns you can’t think your way out of
Clients describe feeling like they’re “holding it together”, “going a bit mad”, or “fighting for a long time” — and wanting things to feel easier, steadier, and clearer.

“I’ve found it incredibly useful to use these sessions to work through things I’d struggled to shift elsewhere. The changes have felt lasting, not just temporary.”
What is Emotional Change Coaching?
Emotional Change Coaching describes the work
It’s a practical, integrative approach focused on helping people make meaningful emotional changes — rather than only gaining insight or talking things through.
Is it Counselling?
This is not counselling, and it’s not open-ended talking therapy.
We don’t spend months circling the same issue or analysing your story endlessly.
Session based
Sessions are structured, contained, and focused on change.
Each session is designed to support shifts in how you think, feel, and respond — usually within the session itself.
Real results
Clients often describe the work as:
- Safe and grounded
- Focused and structured
- Honest and real
- Challenging in a good way
- Ultimately calming and settling.
This way of working tends to suit people who are emotionally open, and ready to engage actively in the process.

“Other people noticed the difference in how I was handling things — I was less reactive, more grounded, and clearer in my thinking.”
With over 15 years’ experience in coaching and therapeutic work, this way of working has supported many clients in making meaningful, lasting changes — sometimes after other approaches hadn’t delivered what they'd hoped.
Some clients return months or years later, usually with a different issue, while the original one remains settled, suggesting the work addressed underlying emotional patterns, rather than only surface symptoms.
Because the focus is on how emotional responses are held and triggered — not just understood — many people find the changes feel stable and easier to maintain over time.
Individual experiences will naturally vary.

What Clients Usually Notice
Clients come to this work with different challenges, but many describe similar outcomes, such as:
Feeling calmer and more settled
Feeling less overwhelmed or reactive
Being able to handle situations differently, with more perspective
Thinking more clearly without spiralling
Feeling more confident and connected to themselves
Clients sometimes report that others notice changes in how they’re coping or responding — feeling more grounded, steadier, and clearer in their thinking.
Here’s what some clients have chosen to share:
"I was feeling very low, drained, mentally, emotionally, physically. I am now living in the present moment and looking forward to the future. I feel truly happy and content and have MY energy back. I didn't think it was possible to feel this happy within."
“Feeling far less stressed ahead of a long-haul trip than I normally would. I was able to approach things with a calmer mindset and enjoy the experience rather than worry about it.”
“The sessions helped resolve a traumatic incident that had stayed with me for years. I no longer feel the emotional charge around it, and it’s made a real difference to how I respond day to day.”
“The ability to think things through more clearly, without spiralling or becoming emotionally stuck. Situations that would previously feel overwhelming now feel more manageable.”
“I’ve found it incredibly useful to use these sessions to work through things I’d struggled to shift elsewhere. The changes have felt lasting, not just temporary.”
"My feelings of self-worth have improved greatly and I feel much more confident and able to face the world. Stefan [has] great empathy and sensitivity [and] effective techniques - and his sense of humour.
Clarifications
Common questions about how this coaching works and what to expect
This approach is often helpful if you:
- Feel anxious, stressed or overwhelmed

Change tends to work best when clients are curious, engaged, and willing to take an active role.
Many people searching for NLP, BWRT, Time Line Therapy or Core Transformation support in Leicester and online find this work aligns with what they’re looking for.
Rather than following a single model, I draw on a range of established coaching and therapeutic approaches as well as using The Change Methods Studio NLP processes:
Approaches may include:
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
To identify and change unhelpful emotional and behavioural patterns.
The Supported Self
For working with unresolved experiences from the past that continue to influence the present in self-talk, thoughts and beliefs, through developing greater inner emotional empowerment.
Reclaim Your Power
A contained approach for working directly with difficult thoughts and memories, helping reduce their salience, charge and ongoing impact, and reclaim power over those situtations, without revisiting the story.
Create Your State
Taught to many clients to enable them to rapidly shift their internal state, access inner capablities, and become more empowered in day to day situations and challenges.
Core Transformation
Used to explore deeper emotional drivers and internal conflicts, supporting more integrated and settled emotional states.
BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT®)
A focused approach for changing automatic emotional responses. I use this frequently to help with processing grief and certain other specific emotional challenges.
These methods are used pragmatically and explained in plain English.
You don’t need to prepare in advance, explain everything perfectly, or relive your past in detail. The focus is on helping emotional responses become more flexible, steadier, and easier to manage over time.
While no specific outcome can be guaranteed, most people experience:
- Less emotional intensity and mental noise
- More calm, clarity, and perspective
- Greater confidence and emotional balance
- Practical tools they can use in everyday life
No homework. No pressure to “perform.” Just steady, session-by-session work.
All work begins with a free 45-minute consultation. It’s completely normal to feel unsure or a little nervous before starting — most people do. This conversation is used to:
- Understand what’s been happening
- Clarify what you’d like to change or work towards
- Explore whether this way of working has the potential to help
Everything discussed is treated with care and confidentiality. Sessions are available in person in Leicester or online by video call.
There’s no obligation to continue — it’s simply a careful, professional first step.
