“Prior to seeing Cathy, I would constantly worry about everything, and little things would get blown into big things that I couldn’t stop dwelling on, to the point where it was impacting on my sleep. My very first session with Cathy gave me a great sense of clarity around the issues, and I was able to stop thinking about them all the time. With Cathy’s coaching, I have learned to let go of all the little things, and focus on what’s important. If things start to worry or distract me, I’m now able to quieten my mind, let go of the emotional clouding, and see things for what they are. I am substantially happier in general. I no longer worry about things that are not important, and can better deal with things that are important to deal with. I feel peaceful; I sleep well, and have faith that I can bring about any changes I wish to achieve in life.” ~ Simone, WA

I always come away from working with Cathy feeling, relaxed, restored, balanced and healed. I recommend her to all who want a gentle and guided experience”. ~ Diana, Coogee WA

Abundance Coaching Tools

NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) was originally created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the mid 1970’s. They developed a set of techniques by studying very successful therapists, Milton Erickson and Virginia Satir, and incorporated the ideas of Fritz Pearls and Gregory Bateson to create models (or patterns) to help people to make incredible shifts in their life. NLP encompasses both a philosophy and cognitive behavioral psychology approach to change.

NLP is a way of exploring how people think, identifying success and then applying these successful actions or beliefs in ways which work for the individual. NLP is widely utilised in management training, life coaching, and the self-help industry.

Different individuals represent their world in different sensory modalities – sight, sound, feeling/touch taste and smell. Their language and behaviour reveals their representation. Often communication difficulties are little more than two people speaking in incompatible representation system.

Catherine has completed a NLP Practitioner Certificate with the Australian Success Institute and includes NLP methods and practices in her coaching work when the need arises.

Catherine states, “I have noticed a distinct difference in an individual’s disposition and behaviour when they choose to change behaviour patterns for their better wellbeing.”

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a mental state or imaginative role-enactment. It is usually induced by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction, which is commonly composed of a long series of preliminary instructions and suggestions. Hypnotic suggestions may be delivered by a hypnotist in the presence of the subject, or may be self-administered. The use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes is referred to as "hypnotherapy".

The words hypnosis and hypnotism both derive from the term neuro-hypnotism (nervous sleep) coined by the Scottish surgeon James Braid around 1841.

"Hypnotism" is a state of physical relaxation accompanied and induced by mental concentration. The word "hypnosis" (from the Greek hypnos, "sleep") is an abbreviation of James Braid's (1841) term "neuro-hypnotism", meaning "sleep of the nervous system".

Hypnotherapy is often applied in order to modify a subject's behavior, emotional content, and attitudes, as well as a wide range of conditions including dysfunctional habits, anxiety, stress-related illness, pain management, and personal development.

Catherine says, “In my experience with many clients, hypnotherapy assists in slowing mind activity and induces a wonderful level of peace and physical relaxation. They feel very free and at ease with concerns and issues previously weighing heavily upon them. With this freedom comes newfound clarity and solutions & decisions come more readily for them.”
