Ingrid Perri

What main concerns do you treat?

Emotional issues, sadness, grief, depression, lack of motivation, lack of self esteem, couples coaching, teen coaching, letting go of the past.

What is your philosophy or belief about natural healing, and the work you do?

I am passionate about natural healing and believe it is the most wonderful gift to humanity and that it should be available to everyone. It treats the whole person, not just a set of symptoms and plays a vital role in our community.

Natural therapists spend time with their clients rather than making them feel like objects on a production line. When we honour our clients by giving them our undivided attention and time to speak and be heard, we honour them as human beings of worth and substance.

I love working as a Life Coach and NLP Practitioner because I believe I have an amazing set of tools for helping people be the very best they can be by helping them learn from the past, move on from the past and forge an amazing future.

What sort of a guarantee can you put on your service?

The tools I use work – no question. The client is given homework to do and provided the client keeps the appointments needed and does the homework, they will achieve what they came for.

What value added services, or products can you add onto consultations?

I have a background in Psychiatric Nursing, 19 years experience as a Naturopath, 17 years experience as an Aromatherapist and have been a Reiki Master for 15 years. I make my own range of natural skin care products and have extensive experience successfully treating skin conditions. I have also worked in the weight loss industry (SureSlim) for 3 years.I bring all this to the table in addition to my NLP and Life Coaching skills and experience and will use it when required eg nutritional advice, some knowledge of various drugs and their side effects, skin problems.

What is the potential impact of not seeing you?

Staying stuck in the past, depression, anxiety, not achieving true potential, never being truly happy, never feeling a sense of self worth.

What would a normal treatment involve?

Detailed questioning to discover the underlying issues. These questions are designed to loosen the grip on the problem as well as find a link between the present problems and the past. By revisiting the past, negative emotions are able to be changed to positive learnings which are then brought into the present so the client can plan a positive future.

During the course of the sessions, I will use several of the many processes available, choosing them according to the answers to the questions and other things the client may say.

I endeavour to always have the client leave in a happier emotional state than when they arrived.

How many sessions will I need?

How long is a piece of string? – as a general rule, the older the client, the more sessions they will need. Teenagers are usually fine after 2-3 hours, regardless of the type of trauma they have experienced. For a 40 year old adult who has experienced severe emotional or physical abuse, they may need 6-7 hours or more.

I am committed to not over servicing but if I feel they need another session, I will recommend this. Usually, the client and I both agree when they are done.

Can I claim through private health insurance?

NLP and Life Coaching is not claimable on health insurance, to the best of my knowledge but sometimes it can be claimed on tax if it is related to business.

I have provider numbers for most health funds so if your fund allows you to claim for my coaching and NLP services, then you will be able to do so.

What qualifications and experience do you have?

I am a Certified Master NLP Practitioner and Trainer / Life Coach (Christopher Howard Training). I am internationally certified in Master Hypnosis as well as Adanced Neurological Repatterning, Master Results Coach and Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). I also have a Diploma of Naturopathy and Diploma of Aromatherapy.

What are the main worries or concerns your clients have when they come to see you?

Feeling unhappy with life, depressed, sad, worried, wanting to leave a relationship, grieving about the loss of a loved one, teenagers who are not coping with peer pressure or have experienced a recent trauma, people lacking motivation, people with low self esteem, people who have been sexually/physically/emotionally abused, women approaching menopause, empty nesters, retirees – anyone who is looking to be happier and more fulfilled in life.

Do you specialize in any areas?

Any emotional issues at all – I love seeing my clients grow in self esteem and confidence and move forward with passion and enthusiasm!
