BDS. UBHAM, ACC Do you run your business or does your business run you? A typical small business owner spends too much time working IN their business and little time working ON their business. The joys of working for yourself are well-documented. But with them often come the weighty problems of never being able to say no or switch off. Health and personal relationships frequently come under enormous strain.
Then something happens. Maybe a marriage breakdown, financial problems or illness. Or a sign that the business must expand or move to the next level. A clear signal that change must come. Coaching helps you make the change. It’s possible you’ve thought one way about running a business or working in your profession for ten, 20, maybe 30 years. Coaching will show you it’s not the only way. You can choose to be different. You will recognise the choice is yours to make. It’s an established principal that 20{5967c1c62f4ef8b7b412a831d8b156a63c78c639bcf63a7eb2a79bf93ffc16c4} of what you do creates 80& of the results (‘The 80/20 Principal by Richard Koch).

Not everyone will need this page, but many will. Many of those who need this page won't realise it, or will deny what their minds and bodies are telling them. This is for the individual to decide. But when we see that dentists are now top of the suicide league (http://www.statistics.gov.uk/articles/population_trends/suicide_pt92.pdf) we can see that society and conventional psychotherapy appear to be failing. No correct that....... HAVE failed. You will find a list of people here. Each one is known to me either in person or in reputation. Each one is an expert in their field. We have NLP practitioners, Time line therapists, hypnotherapists, Business coaches and Gurus. Here you will find people whose sole goal in life is to help others to improve their lives. This is not conventional psychiatry or psychotherapy, as this is not something I personally have a lot of respect for. If you want a pill to solve your problems, this is not the page for you. If you want to spend (if you would pardon the pun) years in therapy talking about your problems, then again, this is not the page for you. I am not saying psychiatry or psychotherapy is bad, I am merely stating my belief system that there are better ways to deal with the negative issues in your life. I could well be wrong, I often am. But having personally witnessed what many of these individuals can achieve, they have my vote. However, for obvious legal reasons, my only endorsement of the individuals here is to say that I feel they are all of good character. None of them are going to help you for free, they have a right to earn a decent living just as much as you. Of course you seek their advice at your own risk, and I will keep the lawyers happy by saying that te following is for entertainment purposes only. And most of these people are not just here to help stressed out dentists. They can also help dental phobics and family members who are having problems facing life's challenges. Remember, trying to drown your problems in alcohol DOES NOT HELP. And neither do the other biochemical ways available, both legal (unless you have a proven physiological disorder) and illegal. I will leave it at that, and ask that you make your own mind up about what you want from life. As I discuss in depth in my book Choose Your Reality, you get to choose the life you want to lead. Your beliefs and your fears will determine what you achieve, what you strive for and your whole outlook on life. OK, here we go. The following are people who can help your business, your phobic/fearful patients as well as dental practitioners who need to enact change in their lives. Don't worry, these guys are not "life coaches", as I believe anyone who describes themselves as being a life coach needs a good talking to. They are however experts in what they do, and are willing to serve. But fiirst, here are the two long established dental support resources.Dental Health Support Programme
Contact for any health related issues but particularly drugs and booze is via a helpline which is entirely confidential. The number is 020 7224 4671BDA Benevolent Fund
64 Wimpole Street London W1G 8YS 020 7486 4994 (24 hour answerphone) E-mail benfund@bda.org The Benevolent Fund is a registered charity which cares for dentists and their dependants, when they find themselves in need. It may be an elderly dentist or widow, who finds that the value of their savings and pension has dwindled, or a younger dentist who cannot work because of illness, stress or depression. The only requirement the Fund makes is that at some time the dentist has been on the UK Dental Register. Financial help can be given in a variety of ways:- one-off grants to meet specific needs
- regular grants to supplement inadequate incomes
- interest-free loans if the difficulty is likely to be short-term
The British Doctors and Dentist group
The British Doctors’ and Dentists’ Group is a mutual help group for doctors and dentists who are recovering, or wish to recover, from addiction to or dependency on alcohol or other drugs.

"Before seeing Kevin, I had little confidence generally and quite low self esteem. Many people said they thought I was confident, but it was all a facade. Inside, I was like the proverbial swan - swimming serenely on the surface, no worries - but with feet paddling madly in circles under the water and panicking! I had even been prescribed Prozac, which helped a little but was never going to be a lasting solution. I wanted to be able to not worry what people thought of me or feel judged, either for my actions, what clothes I wore or in fact any life choices I made. To be able to stand up and make a statement or deal with a situation and not feel worried for days afterwards. Now, through seeing Kevin I feel I have grown and truly become the person I wanted to be, totally happy with myself, having the confidence to speak out and no longer made to 'feel' anything I don't want to. The exercises and processes he has walked me through have given me the abilities to deal with even the most challenging of situations. All this has naturally made a great difference to my life and work, in all sorts of wonderful ways." Terina Worrall, Dental Practice Manager
