My Story

I'm Jules Whale, Life Coach, Hypnotherapist, Time Line Therapist

Working with mature, emotionally vulnerable women requires them placing a lot of trust in me. So, in the spirit of sharing, here is a bit about me and my story.

I live in rural Dorset with my soulmate husband Alan and our two dogs. We have 5 grown up children and 7 grandchildren between us. We are renovating an old house so downtime is fairly limited, although we love walking.

Life is pretty idyllic although it wasn’t always like this. In fact it was a very long way from idyllic.

My Past Struggles

Seeing the Truth: Realising the Depth of My Struggles

I had come out of a long and difficult relationship, which started with me leaving a comfortable stable home aged 18 to live with my husband and our two babies in a rundown shared house.

He was a gambling addict and I identified as a victim. There were protracted bouts of domestic violence and gas lighting.

When my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I decided that I didn’t have the courage to leave. When he passed away I felt a weird mix of desperate sadness and relief.

After the funeral I remember sitting alone in my kitchen with my head in my hands. I was quickly coming to the realisation that I was in debt up to my ears, resentful, guilty and feeling completely done with my life.

Realising Change Was Needed

The Turning Point: Recognising the Need for Change

Outwardly I was in control with a good career. I headed a sales team and luckily was able to keep a roof over our heads. I think I’d have carried on like this until I died, which is a harrowing thought now.

Despite raising my kids and holding down a successful career, I had literally come to a standstill with nowhere to turn and feeling I dared not share any of the negative stuff I was experiencing. This would show an out of control version of me.

In fact the driving thought which had run through my life was, what will people think of me?

I realised that every decision I was making had everyone else at the centre of it, never what was good for me.

My external image was one of cool aloofness, capability, strength and dedication. What a great job I’d done in hiding all of the dark stuff.

My inner me was, in fact, very dark very broken and washed up. I had run out of steam and had nothing left in reserve. I felt I’d wasted my life and was too old to change anything.

Little did I know what an amazing life lay ahead!

Transformation Through NLP

Finding Freedom and Renewal Through NLP

I met an NLP (neuro linguistic programme) life coach who asked “How do you want to be?” I replied “It can’t be this simple, can it?” She said it can if I wanted it to be.

Wind on from this meeting to today and it turned out that it can be this simple!

Today I am debt free, living the best life with my brilliant husband and bringing NLP life coaching to my clients.

When they say that it’s too late to change I assure them that it’s not.
When they ask “it can’t be this simple can it?” The answer is “Yes! Absolutely, you can live life your way.”

Client testimonials

  • Jules used NLP to help me redefine the challenge at hand and gain more insight. I was able to break down who I am into different selves and reflect on how these relate to my overall goals and next steps.

  • After just a few sessions I had a good understanding of the how and why I had been feeling and acting the way I did. I learned techniques which I can now use in a variety of different situations. I have had a few internet catch ups to reinforce my new freedom of thought and can honestly say I feel unstuck now.

    Simply life changing!
