About Me
My name is Tony Bowkis and my working life started within the manufacturing industry, in the role of office junior/tea boy. Progressing to a global purchasing role for a niche, vitreous enamel glass, manufacturing company.
In my mid 40’s I retrained in the financial services sector, gaining CeMap qualifications enabling me to assist people with their mortgage and general insurance requirements.
In my mid 50’s I took a 3-year break and became a full-time student obtaining a BSc Hons in Applied Sports Psychology, which was fuelled by a long-term passion for amateur sport.
I believe that numerous skills that we collect through life are transferrable across different situations and it is the wide variety of positive and adverse experiences that I have had on my own journey that I can use to assist others.
I consider myself to be a non-judgemental and authentic person with a willingness to try to understand all sides of any situation because everything is about individual perspectives.
My core beliefs include building trust through confidentiality, equality, honesty and integrity.
I firmly believe that lasting positive change can only be achieved by the individual taking ownership of their own journey and being honest and committed to their own authentic selves.
My Methods & Approach
I have, over many years in both my working and sporting life, been told that one of my assets is my passionate enthusiasm to connect and engage with people from all walks of life. I get immense pleasure from seeing individuals or groups develop and grow.

I am passionate about helping people make improvements and make progress toward their true potential. My approach is very much individualistic, you are unique, and although there are traits in personality that group people together you are very much an individual. For this reason, I do not set out pre-planned sessions on any topics because until we first speak or discuss your specific journey then I do not know where that might take us.
Philosophy wise, I adopt a holistic approach with a positive regard to the person as a whole and as everyone is unique, an understanding of the ‘person’ is essential to know and assist you as an individual. Holistic philosophy incorporates, a humanistic approach where the person is the expert in themselves and existentialism where your experiences must be the source of information concerning enhancement and development. Don’t worry this isn’t as deep as it may first sound.
