About me
EMMA BROOKS – Mindset and Life Coach, NLP and Hypnosis Practitioner
‘Helping women make changes and navigate challenges whilst maintaining a sense of self’
I support women who have grown too used to doubting themselves, overthinking, feeling the need to hide their emotions, and their needs, to belong.
My love of mindset coaching is rooted in it’s ability to recreate self-trust and emotional clarity, replacing the need to push past feelings and override intuition.
I believe in listening, understanding, and rebuilding a relationship with yourself that feels safe.
Coming back to who you are beneath the pressure -without the patterns created to get by, fit in, survive—so you can move through life feeling clear, confident, and at ease.
My passion
My challenges started well over 10 years ago, when the bumps in the road of life really began – family illness, rehabilitation from injury, loss of career, infertility challenges, IVF, depression, anxiety, breakdown, grief – complete loss of self and a long journey of discovery to put the pieces together again.
Not all the same pieces… some I’ve hung onto, but many others changed along the way. In the beginning I felt as if circumstances out of my control were changing me and my life, taking away the life I really wanted. Years of resistance, fighting the changes and not accepting them, resulted in negative mindset and a feeling that fear ruled my life.
All I wanted was for things to change, to feel ‘better’, I was trying but the reality was I didn’t know how. I had no idea what my body and mind needed (completely accepting after years of chronic back pain that these were absolutely connected). My openness to many forms of self-development had grown over the years, trying to find something that would help. The more I struggled the more I was searching for a ‘fix’. Counselling helped a great deal, but it wasn’t long before I craved something more constructive.
It was by chance (or the universe!) that I was introduced to Mindset Coaching. I’d been aware of Coaching but, at that time, only Business Coaching (coming from a corporate background), the Mindset element was new. I was open to it as I craved anything that might help but that doesn’t mean to say I wasn’t apprehensive and sceptical that it wasn’t really for me and wouldn’t help with my experiences.
To say I was wrong would be an understatement! It completely transformed my life. I re-connected with myself, and I actually learnt so much more about myself than I ever understood before. I’ve felt free, more resilient, at peace with my emotions – my anxiety has gone and I’m able to look and move forward.
My ‘journey’ has been a long one and my passion comes from wanting to make Mindset support more available and raise awareness of the benefits to help others quicker.
My belief
I believe self-compassion and self-care allow for understanding and open reflection – these are the foundation for change when it comes to mindset.
Letting go of negative self-talk, judgement and the thoughts surrounding our experiences and feelings, allow the feelings to pass through and the emotion to be released. It creates a deeper connection with self, encourages self-trust and an ability to make clear decisions. A better relationship with self also provides for a better relationship with others.
I believe mindset is imperative for good health; good mental health and good physical health. We need to look after our minds and bodies collectively.
My mission
We are all so unique and our minds intricate – My mission is to offer tailored, person centred, mindset care and support packages to women; with busy anxious minds, experiencing challenging situations, overwhelm, those simply wanting change, in need of relaxation, help creating extra space for self or finding more ease in understanding and nurturing what they want and need.
Mindset can either serve us or not serve us, and my desire is to help change mindset so that it serves. With the right toolkit I believe we can all create a mindset to best serve and support the life we want to lead. A mindset that ‘serves’ can empower us to have a new range of options in the way we deal with thoughts, emotions and the circumstances we come across in life.
I want women to be able to detach from the thoughts that aren’t serving them. To stop berating, criticising, judging themselves and putting on added societal pressure. To detach from past pain and future fear. To understand there is no such thing as perfect and that we’re all perfectly imperfect and embrace their uniqueness. To allow self-care, self-compassion and self-love.
Most of all to find freedom from themselves; their beliefs and patterns that are holding them back. Holding themselves back from doing, but most importantly from ‘being’ their real authentic selves, from knowing it’s ok to be. Everybody deserves to be able to feel and show themselves as who they really are. Everybody deserves to be happy and relieve worry, fear and judgement. To find peace; peace of mind – a settled deep inner trust in themselves – to know who they are and to know they’re AMAZING!

What people say
"I have tools I can apply to different situations"
“Having had counselling previously and still struggling day to day, I wanted a more practical approach to dealing with my anxiety moving forward.
Emma has a very relaxing presence that made me feel understood and at ease. The weekly steps allowed me to incorporate new habits with healthier outcomes without feeling overwhelmed.
Having finished my program, I now feel I have tools I can apply to different situations, new and old, to allow myself to work towards the lifestyle and person I aspire to be whilst accepting these things take time!
I’m thankful to Emma for her help, her non-judgmental approach and acceptance of myself however I came to sessions, and especially for her continued support following such a valuable experience.”

"I feel so much more positive, calm and in control of my feelings"
“I started having sessions with Emma at Mind Collective three months ago, and I am so thankful and also impressed with how much this has shaped my life.
When I started this program, I struggled with anxiety daily, and felt trapped by my mind and thoughts, but having met with Emma, and through the work we have done in our time together, I feel so much more positive, calm and in control of my feelings.
I have developed a new awareness of triggers and causes of my emotions, and in doing that I have been able to put plans in place and implement the tools Emma has taught me to enable me to handle situations in a much better and calmer way.
Overall, I feel since starting the program I can now ‘deal’ with life, and my anxiety much better, and feel my attitude is much more positive on the whole.”

"I am so grateful to have met Emma"
“I was informed of Mind Collective through Life + Lemons Clinic who thought Emma’s practices would be helpful for my anxiety. And wow they really were.
I am so grateful to have met Emma and would highly recommend if you are finding life a little difficult to handle.
I visited for hypnotherapy but also found Emma’s manner very calming and we would chat about my IVF struggles in a way I found comfortable.
Emma is such a lovely lady to meet. At first, I was a little sceptical about hypnotherapy and voiced my concerns about not letting myself relax. However, with Emma’s sessions I found I would walk in feeling really low and walk out with a spring in my step, feeling all warm inside.
The guided images she created for me dealt with my anxiety, helping me to move on from stressful events and to more calming practices.
She has sent the recordings, and these are helping me to sleep better and feel less anxious in everyday life, but also through my IVF rollercoaster.
Thank you, Emma, for all your hard work in helping me live a better life and in finding ways to alleviate my anxieties, I am extremely grateful to you.”

"I cannot believe how much different I feel"
“Working with Emma has helped me to look at my goals and do the mindset work to uncover old stories and blocks that were keeping me stuck.
The coaching and hypnosis have made this whole process much easier for me than I ever thought it would be.
I cannot believe how much different I feel.
Emma is a friendly yet professional coach who always makes sure you feel safe while doing these life-changing sessions together.
If you are looking for someone trustworthy to help get your thoughts in order then she’s definitely worth reaching out to.
Working with Emma has made it easier for me to move forward in life without feeling like there are any obstacles left standing in the way of what’s possible.”
