CONSULTATIONS OFFERED FACE TO FACE OR ONLINE UK-WIDE
"It is never too late to be what you might have been." George Eliot
My name is Virginia Hayden. I trained as a psychology practitioner at The Optimum Health Clinic in London gaining a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP and Life Coaching and a Certificate in Emotional Freedom Techniques. I am a Licensed Practitioner of NLP, and a Full Member of the British Institute for Hypnotherapy and NLP.
As a qualified therapist and coach, I undertake 'Continuing Professional Development' which means I continue to study and update my knowledge and skills.
A previous role as an academic specialising in health care management gave me considerable experience working not just with individual clinicians and managers but as a consultant and trainer within NHS and social care organisations. Other specialties - including "Targeted Management", strategic marketing and women's studies - took me into a range of organisations from service and manufacturing industries to the arts. My educational qualifications: BSc (Hons), MA, PhD, MT (Master Teacher, awarded by the International Management Centre).
I am also a published writer, a playwright and screenwriter with a number of short films produced and 1- act stage productions in the UK, Canada, USA, Australia. As a playwright I have experience working with performers and am aware of some of the problems they may encounter professionally and emotionally.
An area of personal interest to me is M.E. or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Having recovered from M.E. myself has given me insight into these conditions and their treatment, particularly using the methods which I practice. Family members or carers of those with M.E./C.F.S. may also need help to understand the condition; they may benefit from consultations to promote this understanding whilst supporting themselves as carers. In addition, I have first-hand experience of autism and do work with adults who are autistic.
For a number of years I was a Trustee on the Board of Citizens Advice Daventry & District and am DBS cleared (certificate number 000974813307.) On a personal note, I study astronomy and astrophysics, I am a choral singer, a drummer and a yoga practitioner.
