Tim's interest in helping people overcome these mental barriers and develop and thrive led him into the mental wellness area.
Tim France is now a fully qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and member of the Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapists of Ireland (ICHI) as well as a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner and has the capability, experience and passion to help address all mental wellness issues in the workplace through a unique mix of executive coaching and clinical hypnotherapy.
