1. WHAT EXACTLY IS APPLIED HUMAN CHANGE?

Applied Human Change is an evidence-informed, experiential approach to personal development in which I teach and guide you through a Human Change process individually prepared around the pattern you want to change.


You actively participate in working with your own internal experience while learning practical Human Change skills through the process.


This means you are not only working on something you want to change. You are also developing greater capacity to understand and work with yourself.


I guide the process. You do the internal work.

2. WHAT DO I LEARN FROM A HUMAN CHANGE SESSION?

You learn through actively participating in the Human Change process rather than simply receiving information about personal change.


As we work on something personally relevant to you, you develop greater awareness of your own internal responses and practical experience in working with yourself.


The longer-term aim is to build Human Change skills, self-awareness and personal agency that you can increasingly carry into everyday life.

You're not only coming to change something. You're learning how to change.

3. IS THIS COUNSELING OR PSYCHOTHERAPY?

4. WILL I HAVE TO SPEND THE APPOINTMENT TELLING YOU ABOUT MY PROBLEMS?
4. WILL I HAVE TO SPEND THE APPOINTMENT TELLING YOU ABOUT MY PROBLEMS?

The service is specifically focused on personal change through education, guided experience and active participation within an individually prepared Human Change process.

Your detailed pre-session questionnaire provides the relevant background before we meet.


I review your responses in advance so your appointment can focus primarily on active Human Change work.

7. WILL I LOSE CONTROL?
5. IS THIS MEDITATION?

Human Change is an active and participatory process.

Your session may include focused attention, awareness, imagination and periods of quiet internal observation, with each element selected according to the purpose of the work.


You'll follow my guidance, actively participate in the process, experience your responses as they unfold and communicate with me at relevant points throughout the session.

6. IS THIS HYPNOSIS?

7. WILL I LOSE CONTROL?
5. IS THIS MEDITATION?

Applied Human Change is an active, fully awake process.

During your session, you may become deeply relaxed and internally focused while remaining awake, aware and actively engaged throughout.


You participate actively in your Human Change process, communicate with me at relevant points and work with your own internal experience throughout the session.

7. WILL I LOSE CONTROL?

7. WILL I LOSE CONTROL?
7. WILL I LOSE CONTROL?

You remain awake, aware and actively involved throughout the session.


You can communicate with me, ask questions, share what you're experiencing and make choices about your participation at every stage of the process.


You remain fully conscious, engaged and in control of your participation throughout your Human Change session.


8. WHAT WILL YOU ASK ME TO DO?

Your individual Human Change process is prepared around the particular pattern we're working with and the change you want to create.


I'll guide you through the process, with your role being to actively participate, notice your own experience and communicate with me at relevant points as we work.

The process is responsive to what you experience rather than requiring you to produce a particular response.


Through participating, you are also learning more about how to work with yourself — not simply being told what you should do differently.

9. WHY DO I NEED TO COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE?

9. WHY DO I NEED TO COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE?
9. WHY DO I NEED TO COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE?

Your questionnaire provides the foundation for your personalized Human Change session.

It gives me the relevant background before we meet, including the pattern you want to change, your experience of it and the change you want to create.

Please complete your questionnaire entirely in your own words, using your own natural expressions and descriptions.

Please do not use AI to write, rewrite, improve or refine your answers.

Your own words are key to helping me understand your experience accurately and prepare your individual Human Change session.

I personally review your responses and use them to prepare your individual Human Change process before your appointment.

10. IS MY SESSION INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED?

9. WHY DO I NEED TO COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE?
9. WHY DO I NEED TO COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE?

Yes. I personally review your questionnaire and prepare your individual Human Change session before your appointment.


The session is designed around your particular pattern, your experience and the change you want to create.


While the process is prepared around the particular change you bring, you are also learning Human Change skills through participating in the work.

11. DO YOU GUARANTEE RESULTS?

People experience personal-development work in individual ways, with each person bringing their own responses and experience to the process.


I provide individual preparation, personalized session design, structured guidance and active participation throughout your Human Change session.


Your experience and the changes that develop through the process will be individual to you.

14. IS HUMAN CHANGE EVIDENCE BASED?

Human Change is an evidence-informed approach that draws from evidence-based and research-supported processes.

The individual processes I draw from are informed by established research in areas including attention, learning, memory, mental imagery, behavioral rehearsal, body awareness and regulated breathing.


Your Human Change process is individually prepared according to your questionnaire answers, the pattern you want to change, how you experience it and the change you want to create.

Human Change as a complete approach has not itself been subjected to controlled trials. For this reason, I describe Human Change as evidence-informed rather than as a scientifically proven approach.


You can read more about the individual processes and the research supporting them on The Research Behind Human Change page.

Human Change is an educational and experiential personal-development service. It is not presented as psychological or medical treatment.

15. CAN I BOOK ANOTHER SESSION?

Yes. Some people come for one specific piece of work, while others return at another time to work on a different pattern or area of change.

Human Change is also intended to build your own understanding and practical capacity over time. The aim is not for you to need a session every time something arises, but to increasingly develop skills for recognizing and working with aspects of your own experience yourself.

If you do return, each session is individually prepared around what you want to work on at that time. Returning clients complete a shorter update so I can prepare the work around what has changed and what they would like to work on next.

16. WHEN IS MY QUESTIONNAIRE DUE?

16. WHEN IS MY QUESTIONNAIRE DUE?
16. WHEN IS MY QUESTIONNAIRE DUE?

Please return your completed questionnaire at least 72 hours before your appointment, allowing me time to personally review your information and prepare your individual Human Change session.

17. WHERE ARE SESSIONS HELD?

16. WHEN IS MY QUESTIONNAIRE DUE?
16. WHEN IS MY QUESTIONNAIRE DUE?

Sessions are conducted privately online via Zoom.

Please choose a private, comfortable space where you can give the session your full attention and participate without interruption.

Using headphones and a microphone, if available, will help keep our communication clear throughout the session. Please also have a glass of water nearby.

Your Human Change session is active, focused work, so please set aside the full duration of your chosen appointment and create a quiet, uninterrupted environment where you can be comfortable, focused and fully engaged in the process.

18. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER WHAT I WANT TO CHANGE IS SUITABLE. CAN I ASK BEFORE BOOKING?

Yes. You're welcome to contact me before booking.


If you have a specific recurring pattern you would like to change and would like to check whether Applied Human Change is suitable for what you want to work on, you're welcome to contact me before booking.
