Who is Bernie Jacobs Gordon?
Bernie offers a uniquely integrated service, built on the strength of four separate strands woven together to create a distinctive lifeline for her clients.
The first strand encompasses her most recent qualification as a hypnotherapist, which was inspired by her own experience of the transformative power of this discipline.
The second strand stems from Bernie’s rich and varied life experiences, which empower her work as a life coach. She has a profound understanding of human suffering and a genuine desire to alleviate it in others.
The third strand is her degree in psychology.
Adding to the strength of the woven rope, there is a fourth strand represented by Bernie’s training as an actor. Throughout her acting career, she developed a fascination with the unspoken motivations that drive people in society, those that lie beneath the words.
This skill translates into her coaching approach, where she serves as an empathetic listener, helping clients gain deeper insights into themselves.
Finally, there is a golden thread that runs through all of Bernie’s endeavours. She is a highly skilled communicator, adept at discerning subtle, nuanced human interactions and presenting them to her clients in a clear and relatable manner.
