Paulo da Costa

I became a qualified holistic therapist and coach following a personal need to overcome my own difficulties.

For the past 30 years, I have a condition that according to doctors has no cure. This condition called Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome where on a regular basis, I have episodes of extreme pain, nausea, vomiting and weakness. Due to the violent nature and frequency of this condition, created episodes of depression and anxiety, especially as I didn’t know for how long it would last.

As a result of this, 18 years ago I started to study and practice different types of therapies and life coaching that helped me to cope with my condition and to help others.

I am a qualified Life Coach, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and have qualifications in hypnotherapy and astrology. I help people with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, addictions and a lack of confidence. I believe that by combining CBT and life coaching, I can help people to change their beliefs and identify the root cause of their pain, eventually eliminating it and providing practical steps so they can move forward in their lives.

My experience of these situations teamed with my qualifications and skills, allows me to understand, put myself in my client’s shoes and to make a difference in their lives. I worked for many years in the corporate world, managing teams as well as my complicated health issue. I know how it feels to be in a stressful environment and this led me to develop a simple, focused and empathic approach rooted in personal experience.

I am delighted to be able using my skills and passion to help people to achieve peace, tranquility, goals and hopes.
