Working With Individuals

CALLING ALL CHANGEMAKERS

​​Something big is happening in the world today. We’re living at a time of unprecedented change – politically, socially, economically, environmentally. The old systems that have managed our lives are no longer working, we’ve lost trust in our leaders and lost touch with our certainty. 

​

The world needs people with new ideas, new energy and the desire to serve at a higher level.

To be a ChangeMaker is to be a Leader, even if only of yourself. It requires courage, resilience and the determination to push through discomfort to reach greater understanding on the other side. 

 

I only work with individuals prepared to fully commit to profound personal transformation. This process requires rolling up your sleeves and putting in the hard work - it's a journey of growth, not just self-improvement. Through an integrated approach spanning therapy, coaching, and mentorship, I'll guide you to become the absolute best version of yourself. Together, we'll heal past wounds, rediscover your authentic power, and cultivate the self-leadership essential for creating positive change in your life, your community and the world around you.

​

I’m a qualified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, a Brainspotter, a Sound Healer and a Certified High Performance Coach and I'm constantly learning new techniques and tools to bring to our sessions. I’ll use a mix of coaching, neuroscience, teaching and mentoring when we’re together. I want you to find your own answers but I'll also share some of my own wisdom from having walked this path ahead of you. Check out my About page to find out more about my skills and experience. 

 

​If you're ready to courageously step into this next level, fill out the application form below. Once I receive your application, we'll schedule a free 30 minute consultation to ensure we're an aligned fit before embarking on this transformative path together and to discuss the best package to meet your needs. The road ahead may not always be comfortable but I'll be here to help you unlock your fullest potential to serve at the next level.

 

If you're ready to get started

"Working with Darren has been completely transformational.  His compassion, insight, wisdom and clarity have helped me to remember who I am and I'm really enjoying putting my learning into practice in my professional and private life.  Work-relationships which had stagnated feel refreshed and I'm overjoyed to be experiencing a new depth of connection with my family.  Thank you, Darren."

CHANGEMAKER MENTORING

Your life is your choice. At work or at play the decisions you make shape who you are and affect the lives of those around you. Your choices can either keep you stuck going over old ground or take you forward to pastures new.

​

New advances in neuroscience are telling us that the brain will turn regular choices into unconscious habits. If you find yourself doing the same things and having the same thoughts over and over again, you may find that your personality starts to reflect those habits. Your very Identity becomes an unconscious construct of outside influences that don’t serve you, don’t value you and don’t allow you to be the person you really are.

​

This is incredibly important if you wish to be a ChangeMaker. Global Change starts with you. If you wish to be effective in life it starts with learning how to connect better to yourself so you can show up in the best way possible for yourself and others.

How It Works

ChangeMaker Mentoring is for those who are looking for

PERSONAL CHANGE or SUPPORT IN CREATING, MAINTAINING OR DEVELOPING A PROJECT OF THEIR OWN.

 

​This is an unstructured series of sessions, responsive to your current needs. A mix of therapy, coaching and mentoring - ranging from support with managing the effects of trauma to personal and professional goal setting, project development and ongoing support with your ChangeMaking activities.

 

Sessions are booked in packages of time rather than packages of sessions. This gives us the flexibility to work in response to you in each session. Sometimes you may need a short intervention and at other times, several hours of focused attention.

 

Due to my own ChangeMaking activities I am not able to work with you at the same time every week, so we will book each session at it comes, again being responsive to your needs and schedule. This flexibility works well for my clients, who tend to be busy people with irregular schedules themselves.

CHANGEMAKER LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME

21st Century Leadership is about ChangeMaking to regenerate People, Places and Planet. It is about raising people up and creating empowered independence in others so that we can all work together to create a better future for all.

​​

This kind of Leadership is not necessarily about heading a big company, or spearheading a massive movement, although of course that can be part of it. 21st Century Leadership begins with leadership of Self. If we can’t properly lead ourselves, we can’t be effective at supporting others. It requires an inward focus to develop the skills and practices necessary for long term, consistent change making.

​​

Developing leadership takes special qualities of self discipline, kindness and compassion - towards others but most importantly towards yourself. More than anything a leader must embody the practices they teach so that they can be effective role models and lead by example.

​​

I like to think of it as

Conscious Creative Leadership.

 

We must be:

CONSCIOUS of our hidden patterns and saboteurs,

CREATIVE in our approach to problem solving,

in order to

LEAD from the heart.

How It Works

My ChangeMaker Leadership package is only for those who are ready to do the kind of work necessary to make lasting change in themselves. It’s a longer term commitment than my other programmes because it demands real focus from you.

 

We’ll look at how to maintain consistent levels of CLARITY, ENERGY, COURAGE, PRODUCTIVITY and INFLUENCE so you can be absolutely clear about your PURPOSE and can remain highly effective in anything you choose to do.

 

The world needs values driven leadership now more than ever.

Harness your true potential and come together to make change.

Add 6 Hours of Deep Dive sessions to address any resistance that might come up during the programme. This is an intensive process that can uncover deeper blocks that we can't address in the High Performance sessions, so it can be useful to have extra time to focus specifically on those issues and clear them outside the structured programme.

What is Certified High Performance Coaching?

High Performance means succeeding beyond

standard norms consistently over the long term.

Certified High Performance Coaching is a

programme designed to embed the “HP6”

- the six habits that matter most in achieving long

term, sustainable, positive life changes, as

identified in a 3 year research study of high

performers worldwide conducted by the High

Performance Institute. Across 100,000 3rd party

rated sessions, Certified High Performance

Coaching has been consistently rated 9.7 out of

10, the highest in the industry ever. For me the

HP6 are essential tools for 21st Century

Leadership and have changed my life and

countless others for the past decade.

What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is both a therapeutic and high

performance tool using the outside gaze to

access packets of stuck information stored in

the unconscious parts of the brain. Brainspotting

(BSP) was discovered in 2003 by David Grand,

Ph.D. and now over 10,000 therapists have been

trained as practitioners in the US, South

America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Used

by athletes and artists to enhance performance

we believe that BSP taps into and harnesses the

body’s natural self-scanning, self-healing ability

allowing clients to release old patterns and move

into more expanded ways of being.

Complete this short questionnaire now so you can start your ChangeMaker journey this year.

Darren is an amazing and skilled practitioner who guided me on a journey of self-discovery and healing. It was totally unexpected and I have learnt a great deal from working with him. I've left our process with greater clarity, purpose and confidence.

AMANDA MITCHELL,

CHOIR LEADER

Working with Darren has enabled us to clarify our vision and take bold steps towards our goals. While sensitively guiding us towards clearer thinking, his positive energy and can-do attitude ensure a thoroughly worthwhile and enjoyable experience. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

KIRSTY WITHER, ARTIST AND GALLERY OWNER

Darren changed my life. I was in a state of transition personally and professionally, and there was a

pandemic going on! Not only did he help me work out what career move to make next, but by session 4, I was already being paid to do work I love!

ADAM BATES, FOUNDER PEOPLE AND PLANET CONVERSATIONS

Interested but price is restrictive for you right now? Maybe my Group ChangeMaker Leadership programme is a better fit for you.

The same programme but in a group of up to 12 people and for a much lower price.
