About PD Development

Phoebe Dickens is renowned for her inspirational qualities, her friendliness and approachability as a Coach. With a background that includes work as a Counselling Psychologist for the NHS, a Teacher in schools & colleges, a Commercial Model (over 12 years in TV, photographic & catwalk modelling), and a high performance Coach, Phoebe is both business-like and dynamic, whilst employing an approach that is broad-minded, down-to-earth and original. She is a fully accredited and experienced Coach, and the Founder and Past President of Chesterfield Toastmasters as well as being involved with the PSA (Professional Speakers Association).

Phoebe’s work in Psychology has involved in-depth training in a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, which she is able to use for the benefit of individual and teams of clients. 

This ranges from knowledge of the Person-Centred Approach, of which the key concepts of empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard, remain essential components in Phoebe’s approach – to Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), solution-focused approaches, narrative therapy (using stories), as well as more cutting edge Meridian energy therapies.

Would you like to receive success-based coaching & training from a Coach who has trained with the world’s top trainers, academics and high achievers?

Good! Because Phoebe has trained with (amongst many others) Richard Bandler, Paul McKenna, Anthony Robbins and Christopher Howard. A Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and a licensed Hypnotic Practitioner, Phoebe has all the skills and techniques to enable her clients to transform their lives and develop their businesses to an exceptionally high level.

Essential to PDDevelopment is the ability of a coach to ‘walk the talk’. This Phoebe certainly does, constantly striving to work on herself as well as motivating and holding her clients accountable to their career goals and personal dreams.

Phoebe is aware of the challenges and adversity life sometimes presents and is able to help clients transform their perspective of such events, using them as a catalyst toward massive self and business growth.
