About Me
Catherine Dixon BA (Hons) RSA Dip, Dip Cog Hyp. NLP Prac, MNCH.
My career is dedicated to enabling wellbeing and personal growth. The early years were in training and development. I was the director of studies of two language organisations in Italy and helped set up and run a theatrical cooperative that staged English speaking musical dramas. Returning to the UK in 1994, I worked in telecommunications and IT recruitment. I managed recruitment campaigns for some of the major Japanese banks and IT corporations. I also designed, developed and delivered a competency system that was rolled out in the UK all over Europe.
A career move towards alternative health began in 1997 and I graduated as a shiatsu practitioner in 2001. I acquired further qualifications to practise acupuncture for common ailments and ear acupuncture. I wanted to integrate self healing systems in my work so I trained to teach Chi Kung. I qualified in Cognitive Hypnotherapy at the Quest Institute and am a registered member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy, the General Hypnotherapy Register and the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council. I am a member of the NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Practitioners (No 6378) and a licensed trainer with the Association of Meridian and Energy Therapies.
I run a private practice in Ealing. In January 2009 I launched programme called Empower Your Life Choices which is a modular programme designed to help individuals create a new life. I deliver post-graduate training programmes for therapists and am a clinical supervisor for the Ear Acupuncture Register and have been teaching chi kung classes since qualifying in 2004.
