The Power of Your Emotions
Have you ever had the experience of crying deeply, or yelling in anger, only to discover afterwards that not only do you feel better, but you also have clear thinking, inspiration and a new perspective? This is the power that emotional freedom has in our lives.
We all have inside of us everything we need to succeed in this life – desire, inspiration and ideas. But these wonderful qualities that we all possess can become blocked when we are unable to allow emotion to move freely in our lives.
Like water, our emotions are meant to flow, and when they do, we flow too.
At some point in the past…
Many of us have encountered times in our lives when we did not feel safe to feel particular emotions, and instead felt forced to create a strategy to avoid those feelings.
You might have forgotten…
Some of us build our whole lives on these avoidance strategies, completely losing touch with those emotions we are protecting ourselves from, and creating a life based upon avoiding discomfort, resulting in confusion, frustration, and limited or mixed outcomes.
How to feel alive
We are meant to feel. From the the joy of being ourselves to the fear of expanding outside our comfort zones. Our emotional compass helps us know where we have come from and where we are going.
Emotional flow coaching is a style of rapid coaching that can quickly unblock your whole system, bringing greater clarity, empowerment, confidence, and a feeling of deepest authenticity.

“Derek’s coaching has helped me find more clarity and purpose, both personally and in my creative endeavours. It feels clear that he embodies all the qualities he encourages in others. He listens with an open and calm conscientiousness, and suggested avenues for thought and reflection which I do not think I could have found on my own. Ultimately, these sessions have helped me to let go, find direction and discover more honest ways of being.

What is Emotional Flow Coaching?
Emotional blocks occur in life when what we say we want is out of alignment with what we feel, limiting growth and progress in our personal and professional lives.
Sometimes this is simply due to a lack of clarity. Other times, our goals and behaviours are an extension of self-defence mechanisms we have created to protect us from things we don’t want to feel.
Coaching is a process by which we uncover these layers of complexity in ourselves, getting back in touch with our most essential being, acclimatising to how we feel, and aligning ourselves from the inside out. This process dissolves confusion and resistance, freeing the powerhouse of our emotions, and bringing clarity, drive and inspiration to allow us to live authentically and passionately.
A Simple Process

“Derek has an exceptional gift – the ability to listen, understand and give clarity to what you are thinking and feeling. He invited me to bring meaning into my work in a way that helped me to trust my own creative instincts. I have thoroughly enjoyed our time together and know that his wisdom will resonate with me for many years to come.”

Derek Kirkup
Hi, I’m Derek!
My own journey of healing began with the recognition that I was suffering from symptoms of complex trauma, although it would be years before I discovered that particular label and the set of tools that helped me make rapid shifts.
Along the way, I studied counselling, spent five years as a Samaritan, and became Deputy Director of Farnborough and District Samaritans in Hampshire.
The most compelling expertise that I have incorporated into my practice are based on Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and NLP. The profound effect of these tools was the discovery that life can be much easier than we may have experienced it to be so far. Decision-making can be effortless, problem-solving can be easy, and building relationships can be much deeper and more fulfilling than we may have experienced.
My wish is for others to experience the deeper fulfilment and richness that has begun to unfold in my life, and in the life of my clients. I am here for you, your goals, and visions, so get in touch today and start your expansion.
Get started today!
I offer free a 30-minute consultation to see if we’re the right fit. You can also email me and I’m happy to answer any questions you have.

The Genius of the Body
Your body can process around 11,000 bits of information every second. By contrast, your conscious, thinking mind can process approximately 12-15 bits of information per second.
We are more than we think we are
Approximately 80% of our nervous system’s pathways flow from body to brain, not the other way around. Our body is the powerhouse we can’t avoid.

“I left the UK in 2022 and made the difficult choice to move to Canada. I don’t think I would have had the confidence or determination to make this personal goal happen, but thankfully Derek was a consistently positive voice in my life, a patient and insightful presence who ultimately helped me put my life back into my own hands.”
