About Me

Hi my name is Orla, your Wellness Coach & Life Therapist.

I have a passion for empowering individuals to take action and create the changes they want and deserve in their life. I am fascinated by the power of our mind; knowing that we are the pilot of our own flight, the driver to our destination, our thoughts and internal dialogue create our ultimate reality and the direction in which we move. I offer power to individuals to take back the steering wheel and choose the direction they wish to move forward in.

I work using a combination of modalities that I am qualified in including Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Psychology based interventions, Motivational Interviewing & Coaching, and Time-Line Therapy; all working to create change at a deep subconscious level

I love all things outdoors and when I’m not working, you’ll usually find me out for a walk with my fur-baby (Milo) or going for a hike or dip at the beach. I’m always up keen for a nice sunrise or sunset, preferably sunset as I’m not exactly a morning person! Being outdoors in nature is my opportunity to reset, recharge & slow down and is most definitely my happy place.

I currently work within the Antrim area and also online with 1-1 clients, depending on what suits you best. I also work with groups; online and throughout various locations in Northern Ireland such as workplaces, community centres, gyms and yoga studios, or a location of your choice. Group workshops can be tailored to your desires or can have a set focus such as health & lifestyle improvement, goal setting, motivation, changing habits or stress management.

I facilitate regular group hypnotic workshops throughout NI which are hugely successful, each workshop has a specific focus and includes a beautiful hypnotic rest. Think of a great night’s sleep but in just 1hour! Nowadays we are always so busy, always going, doing, and planning. These workshops are the ultimate form of self-care and self-regulation, allowing you to slow down completely in both mind and body. The only complaint I’ve had is that people never want to leave!

I believe we all have the capacity to change but sometimes we just need a little help finding the way. Allow me to support you in navigating your way, step by step opening up a vision of choice, fulfilment, good health and inner peace.
