After her husband got ill, Noëlle Martin had to find other ways of alternative income. Not having a fortune to start with, she was looking for a way to make money on the stock market. Buying stocks was too expensive; options were a viable alternative. She discovered while trading that the mental side was more than challenging, especially for people who had no trading experience and that sort of pressure and uncertainty. The next three years, she developed a strategy to simplify options trading by reducing it to 2 basic strategies. The strategies were not enough on their own to be successful, so an understanding of the mental demands became a vital ingredient of her philosophy. Deciding to make it available for all women who have limited resources and time, she opted to write a book which goes in great detail how to trade options and offering the tools to improve life. She developed videos and introduced weekly online meetings to take part in a trading community for women, learning keeps going and being able to share your highs a low is a vital guide to a safe and productive lifestyle.

As a British born Cypriot raised both in the UK and Cyprus, Maria knows first-hand the struggles of a strict upbringing.

Experience is personal, but it can also be collective. Socrates Panayi is the psychotherapist that will help you explore your experiences and develop, so you can live a more fulfilling life. He has a profound interest on “the other side of reality” as he calls it. That’s the side of reality where experience is perceived within the context it is developing. This holistic approach integrates both the external and internal elements that construct our partaking in an experience. These ideas are derived from a diverse range of psychotherapeutic approaches. As an Integrative Psychotherapist he was trained in Body-Centred Gestalt Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Attachment Therapy. He is also well familiarized with other approaches, psychotherapeutic and spiritual. Socrates is experienced in working with delinquency, trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, bereavement, palliative care, couple communication, parenting and more. His experience is not limited to his private practice, but it is extended in working with institutions such as schools, health associations, prisons, homeless services, and other. Moreover, he utilizes the same experiential methodologies to train businesses in managing their time and stress, to communicate effectively, to develop a happy and productive work environment and many other topics that can be approached by psychology. He’s hoping that his efforts will become the seed for a positive change in a society that constantly goes off balance.
