About us

frog-relaxed The Wheel is our offering to other busy professionals trying to live well in a fast world. We aim to deliver a series of shortcuts - a balanced, pragmatic, practical approach married to awareness and insight. It is an approach synthesised from thirty years (between us!) of searching, trying, failing, testing, learning and attending programmes.

The experiential process of gathering all this together also spans three careers, family ups and downs and all the external stuff that life throws at us. The workshop has been developed and written by Doug Osborne (he is the clinical hypnotherapist and corporate trainer) and Dr Tony Evans (he is the Chartered Counselling Psychologist and university lecturer). The programme has many, many gems from both our private practices and our public work.

The material has been gleaned from individually tailored programmes - our personal adaptations in response to real professional people’s stress, worries, anxieties and concerns. This programme contains exercise after exercise you won’t find in other books or courses. Doug says ‘Tony and I have ransacked the archives of our work and put together the best of the best into a workshop format. Many of these tools are things we use on a daily basis ourselves’.
