The Image Clinic

  Image in Action...Imagine!
At The Image Clinic we believe in guiding and supporting you through brilliant, far reaching, lasting change.

We will work with people either in a group or one to one depending on individual circumstances. However, we firmly believe that working within a group such as the
New Year - New You course due to start in February will bring additional insights and motivation to each participant.
We believe that real, lasting change is possible for everyone to achieve with a little bit of action and a healthy dollop of imagination!

Your Image Guides:Viv Dean and  Janice Smith

We met in 2002 and we are both Master Practitioners in NLP having done our NLP training together. Our friendship began when we realized that we share a passion for people. As separate entities, we called on each other for ideas and support. Realizing that we have similar goals and practices, we decided to get together in 2007 and form The Image Clinic.






Janice Smith, Co-Founder

Born in Scotland then moving to Bournemouth as a young girl, my life has taken many paths including a few years living in Seattle, USA and Holland.

I come from a sales background working my way up from sales representative to National Sales Manager for one of the UK`s leading gas appliance manufacturers.

Moving on to something completely different, I became Sales Director of two multi million £ overseas property companies with offices in the UK, Spain, Turkey, Cyprus and Florida.

A chance meeting with a friend led me down the NLP path. Quickly realising the life changing principles of NLP I embarked on the 2 year training course becoming a Master Practitioner in 2004. I now work with local GPs, Dentists and various clinics helping people to build confidence, overcome phobias and improve their lives.

As an accomplished speaker, I regularly speak on behalf of a national charity. I am also a public speaking coach and work with individuals and groups including wedding parties, coaching the Groom and Best Man through their speeches, even writing the speeches if needed!
I live in Bournemouth with my
husband and son.
Viv Dean, Co- Founder

I was born in Canada and raised in Devon. I started my career in Sales Training and Development with Lombard, being responsible for the development and identification of talent both within Lombard and with my customers. Working directly within finance and the motor trade, I learnt how important the individuals were to the success of a business. 

Given a chance to sail the Atlantic I made a career move that would not only leadme on a physical journey of a life time but also a personal journey. 
Over the last 7 years I have researched many
forms of therapy and self development techniques
from Acupuncture to Zen.

Following the birth of my children Idecided to pursue a career where I could blend my professional experience with my innate people skills.  For two years I trained with a vastly experienced NLP trainer and completed studies in counselling skills. 

Ready to begin an independent career, I formed Graceful Living in 2004 offering Reiki training, Body Work and Life Coaching.
I live with my family in Poole Dorset.
