Hi, I’m Debbie
It’s great to have you here.
When I set up Sunbeam, I was really clear about what I wanted for my clients.
Put simply, I am on a mission to help introvert people find their confidence and achieve whatever they set their minds to.
There are those that have lost confidence and there are those that never had much to start with, and my work is to give my clients the space, time and tools to get to a place where they can trust themselves, wholeheartedly.
I have struggled with confidence my whole life. Being a quieter person, finding my way felt really hard when I was young. Like some people, I also experienced complex childhood trauma, and learned to put up a protective shield that on the one hand kept me safe, and on the other, made me shrink back from life.
I tried to overcome this by being perfect. Perfect friend, perfect wife, perfect mother, perfect daughter, perfect employee. It all took its toll.
I also experienced the heavy dread of imposter syndrome. I decided early on that I only achieved anything through luck rather than skill, despite becoming a senior executive and even an interim MD!
Sporadically I tried to change. I knew there was something ‘wrong’ with me, and I took a few steps to get behind what that actually meant, but it was back and forth. The real change journey happened when one of my sons had a life-threatening illness, and suddenly I found some courage to confront those demons.
Eventually this led to me changing my career, training to become a Master Coach and a Hypnotherapist. I now spend my time helping people create change, helping them discover their inner resources so they can be braver, bigger, stronger and JUST DO IT, because we all deserve to live our lives in happiness and alignment.

How I work
I work with my clients in a number of ways. I offer several programmes and bespoke 1:1 work, but at the heart of everything sits my Confidence Pyramid. It is my philosophy that everything begins with self-awareness and it is the foundation upon which all my work sits. Action without self-awareness is pointless in my opinion. If you don’t know what you’re doing when you ‘do’ your problem, when and where you do it, how you do it or why you do it, you’re reducing your chance of success.
I am also passionate about you creating a high sense of self-worth. Whether that’s appreciating your introvert qualities, or inviting you to build a bank of confidence based on all the things you’ve already achieved in your life, my job is to help you change your perception of you. I suspect you are already rather wonderful, but you’ve possibly written yourself off. My job is to help you see that you CAN do it.
As a Neuro Linguistic Programming Master Practitioner, I am also very focussed on your language. The way you talk about yourself and your challenges can tell me so much about your thinking, and we will work on positive, empowering language whether that’s using hypnotherapy, talking in our coaching sessions or setting you some homework.
And all of this leads to a place of Self-Love.
When you accept yourself, and love yourself, you will stand a good chance of achieving your desired change.
So whether we are working together in a free masterclass, a hypnotherapy programme, or a coaching session, the Confidence Pyramid underpins everything I do.
