Hi - my name is Morris Berg and I have been working with people since I first qualified as a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist in the early 1980s. Like many therapists, I have gravitated towards coaching because it enables me to work with clients who are committed to improving the quality of their lives.

I now live in rural Cornwall, UK and am devoting my practice exclusively to helping people via telephone, Skype, Internet chat and email.

Using the approaches and tools you can read about in this website, I help people to clarify their aims, discover their purposes and achieve their goals. Along the way I help people to free themselves from the blocks and negative thinking that has been holding them back, and to access greater intuition and insight.

Coaching can be one of the most positive learning experiences you can have. You will find yourself thinking and feeling in new ways, being able to take risks in order to change, stepping outside your boundaries and gaining more control of your life. Coaching is about getting the real you back and making use of your potential.

If you don't know where to start or what to work on, that's OK because we can find out together. I am interested in the deeper aspects of coaching, so I don't concentrate on decluttering and getting yourself organised. I help you sort your values, aspirations and motivations, not your clothes and bric-a-brac. Once we see what thought patterns, beliefs or stuck feelings are getting in the way of what you want to change, and we do some work on that, you start to do some things differently, and we keep in touch so that you have my support. We work on issues that arise for you as you continue to make changes.

As a coach I ask a lot of questions. I also provide plans and exercises - some people want more structured work than others. I will assign homework between sessions: this could be a question to ponder on, a questionnaire to complete or a task concerning your everyday life. As well as learning about yourself in the coaching sessions, you learn by doing and making small changes, then bigger ones.

My work is with the whole person. You may wish to make changes in any area of your life, from work to spirituality. Any major change involves your whole life and it's important to look at the wider implications of what you would like to do. You start where you want, and you start with things that are achievable and within reach. Miracles might take a little longer!

Like Thomas Leonard, the founder of the Life Coaching profession, I am a "Highly Sensitive Person" which means I react differently from most people to certain things in my environment. HSPs need to do things their own way and arrange their lives to suit them. To read more about HSPs, click here.

Good coaches have experience of life. I have been involved in various aspects of personal growth for over 30 years. My work experience includes insurance, local government, academic administration, publishing and private education. I am still involved in education and course development in the private sector. I have edited a club magazine for writers, am a published poet and co-author of a book on hypnotherapy training. I am now working on a series of self-help books.

I have a B.Sc.(Hons) in Psychology from the University of East London, and have gained higher degrees from overseas non-traditional universities including a PhD in Hypnotherapy from the USA. In 1982 I obtained my Diploma in Therapeutic Hypnosis and Psychotherapy from N-SHAP, a leading UK school of hypnotherapy, and continued my hypnotherapy education with other trainers, earning various certifications over the years. Special trainings included Clean Language and Therapeutic Metaphor with the late David Grove, and extensive training in past life regression and neo-shamanic healing techniques with the late Kiana (Diane) Park leading to the qualification of Accredited Past Life Healer. I first learned NLP with N-SHAP, then took a certificate course with Stephen Brooks, and eventually gained two Master Practitioner of NLP qualifications - one from the USA and one from the UK. I have a certificate in counselling, a Diploma in Life Coaching, an NLP Life Coaching Diploma and an Advanced Diploma in Professional Stress Management.

Energy therapies (EFT, Reiki and others) are part of my distant coaching practice as they provide quick methods for assisting change, shifting blocks and promoting a positive sense of well-being. These therapies have lots of wonderful applications. I am a Usui Reiki Master and have certification in EFT & Meridian Therapies, a Diploma in EFT, Level 2 EFT Practitioner, Advanced Diploma in Meridian Psychotherapy (covering advanced EFT & Meridian Therapy), and certifications in Emotional Freedom Reiki, Flower Essence Reiki, Money Reiki, Ama Deus Shamanic Healing, Bach Flower Essences, and Colour Therapy. In 2011 I became a Master Practitioner of EFT through the Institute for Meridian Psychotherapy.

My professional memberships include: Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society (UK). CCC Registered Counsellor. Emeritus Fellow of the Hypnotherapy Society (UK). Fellow of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (UK). Member and Certified Hypnotherapist - National Guild of Hypnotists (USA). Member of the National Federation of Neuro Linguistic Programming (USA). Member of the Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists (UK). Member of Coachville.
