This is not psychotherapy, or a substitute for professional medical advice
THIS IS NOT PSYCHOTHERAPY!
All my past clients had limitations that needed to be replied withnew strategies to acheive their outcomes.
In each session we:
-
focus on the future you want.
-
identify how you process information & what needs changing
-
do processes to help you generate new habits
Over time we keep track of how you’re feeling about each change and notice what difference it makes as you take new actions towards your goals.

I’ve worked with Darren for the last four years and he’s changed my life. There have been dark moments where I had no light and he enabled me to find the light within myself. He is an incredible, knowledgeable, caring and kind human and I would recommend him highly to anyone.

Meeting Darren and discovering NLP has changed my thinking and ultimately, has changed my life for the better. I had never heard of NLP until meeting Darren on social media. His style of teaching and coaching is engaging and motivating. He is an incredible example of empowerment and how learning and practicing NLP can change the way we see ourselves, our choices in life, and unlock the power of the mind to free ourselves of limiting beliefs that can hold us back from our true purpose in life.
Thank you Darren!

Darren is brilliant. He has great tools, tons of empathy and experience. I’ve tried learning NLP from books but one interactive session with Darren made it feel so much more doable and I could feel the full potential of NLP.

It was such an excellent and enjoyable experience working with Darren. He has such a depth of knowledge of his program which makes him able to navigate what processes I should develop to allow me to firstly be the best version of myself, as well as always looking ahead.
Neuro-programming is such a difficult field to navigate due to the way the human mind works, different personalities, belief systems, upbringing, habits, however Darren makes it his primary focus to simplify the structure of how to build positive outcomes while dealing with fears.
I've learned so much more about myself and how much potential I have during this experience, and the shift in behaviour has been fantastic in my work and personal life since working with him.

I have had the privilege of working with Darren Shaw for the past five years, and I can confidently say that he has profoundly influenced my journey as a life coach. Darren’s story is both inspiring and transformative. Born to Jamaican immigrants in the UK, he faced significant challenges, including job instability and the tragic loss of his brother in 2010.
Rather than allowing these hardships to define him, Darren turned his pain into purpose, diving into personal development and skills training. His dedication has led him to work with the UK's largest training organizations, and he now empowers others to overcome their own struggles.
Darren’s resilience and commitment to growth have taught me invaluable lessons in empathy, strength, and the power of transformation. Because of his guidance, I feel more equipped than ever to help others navigate their paths. I truly believe that I am an amazing life coach because of the insights and inspiration I have gained from Darren.
Thank you, Darren, for being a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change in my life!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay for individual sessions or buy a package?
You can pay for individual sessions if you wish however I tend to find it's more useful to buy a package so that we can work on a problem or group of problems over time. I try to ensure that each session builds upon whatever has been covered in the last unless new things have come up for you which need immediate attention either way we work together to identify the best course of action to get you taking steps towards achieving your desired outcome.
What is your approach?
Throughout my career, I’ve found it useful to be integrative in my approach. I have studied and use a mixture of approaches including but not limited to the person-centred approach, Neuro-linguistic programming, guided visualisation and applied psychology.
How confidential are the sessions?
I am trained in and abide by the General Data Protection Regulations(GDPR) 2018. I've found that these are the most stringent data protection regulations in the world.
What is NLP?
Neuro-linguiistic programming(NLP) is an approach to rapid change and becoming excellent in any area of life chosen and focused on by you. It was developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler & John Grinder and has a wide variety of application
Is my data protected?
Yes, in line with General Data Protection Regulations(GDPR), the most stringent data protection laws in the world.
Do we have to go into my past?
Not necessarily no. You’ve already lived it once, i dont find it useful to make you relive it all over again. You may find through our conversations however, that you gain insight of your own accord due to the nature of the lessons you’ve learned and continue to learn.
How effective is coaching?
When done well, its a game-changer. People’s lives change, new insughts formed, all manner of new things experienced.l in my experience the only thing that can get in the way of progress is a lack of commitment to your own progress. Before we get started on the deep dive, we always do an ecology check to make sure that change is what you want.
What happens in a session?
Whatever presents itself as teh challenge is what dictates the session, but generally you can expect guided visualisation, psycho-education, conversational change processes, questions that cause you to reflect on your own consciousness, belief change techniques, values elicitation and more.
Do you provide CE units
No, but these sessions can be used towards ‘other training’ criteria if this is included in your requirements for professional purposes. If you need a certificate to prove attendance, please ask upfront and I can make these available.
Can this count towards my CPD
Yes, either due to the psycho-education, personal coaching or professional conversations element of CPD in the United Kingdom. If you require evidence of coaching sessions, please let me know in advance so i can make this available to you.
Is this expensable in my business?
Yes, this classes as ‘training expenses’ and should be tax-deductble. Check the expenses allowance in your legal jurisdiction.
