About Chris Moon-Willems
I have 30 years personal and professional development experience and hold qualifications in social work, performance management, life coaching (with distinction), retirement coaching, N.L.P. (Master practionaer Level) and E.F.T. (Emotional Freedon Techniques).
My training as a social work professional, life coach, and N.L.P. practitioner blends with my professional experience in the NHS and Social Services and personal experience of loss and change to enable me to offer clients many perspectives and a unique and effective service.
I have a passion for helping people transform their lives and have helped people from all backgrounds and walks of life to make new beginnings. Professionally I have been, and still am, at the cutting edge of personalising health and social care with the aim of empowering disabled and vulnerable people to take control of their lives. As a carer supporting elderly, disabled parents with a personal budget my work has led to radio and tv appearances.
I was divorced after 32 years of marriage and my (ex)husband died a year later. I lost my home, and my beloved grand daughters moved to another part of the country. My father, who cares for my disabled mother lost his sight. When the organisation I worked for downsized, I found myself looking for other employment.
I found that as I got to know myself better, I was able to find the opportunites lurking behind the challenges. I realised it is often the most difficult periods in our life that provide the greatest gifts and I came to understand that we find happiness, not in the events that happen to us, but in the way we respond to them.
