ELJIN'S STORY
Hi, I’m Eljin and I help people break through the possible barriers of their own mind to live a healthy and harmonious life.
​
One of the first things I may ask when we work together is, “What’s your ‘why’?”
​
Why is this important to you?
​
Why do things need to change?
​
Funny enough, many do not actually know their why, or what they actually specifically want, this results in a relapse of behaviour, a return to old ways. I am here to help you really get to know what it is you want and need, what you may need to work through, get over, come away from or work towards, so its crystal clear.
​
My own ‘why’ was the result of my journey through the challenges of life and the personal development I found along the way.
​
MY PERSONAL STORY​
​
I started out as a bricklayer but began struggling with depression and narcotic & alcohol addiction as I grew into adulthood, resulting in parents asking me to vacate
the family home, and rightly so.
​
After hopping from prison cell beds to hospital beds, the streets to friends, depression, several overdoses, and suicidal thought's became a frequent way of being, I finally sought professional help, after over a decade of darkness.
​
It was this which triggered my revival and path to where I am today, enabling me to have such deep understanding and rapport with all my clientele.
​
Today, I’m a proud parent and grandparent who lives life to the fullest. I enjoy sky-diving and cliff-jumping to breathwork and mediation. I absolutely love to be outside in nature, walking, hiking and even scaling some of the world’s highest mountains.
​
I live in harmony with the ever-evolving sweet spot between doing, being and living.
​
I admit, the great outdoors is my sanctuary and I thrive on the beauty of nature and how it can nourish the mind, body and soul.
MY PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY
“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people”
- Carl Jung
I’ve been privileged to work with many individuals and companies, supporting them to transform their mindset (and therefore, their life) using proven techniques such as memory management and neurolinguistic programming.
When I left the construction industry, I immersed myself in the wellbeing world. I loved mixing in environments with a higher state of mind and realised I connected deeply with people.
I found I understood others in a profound way and it sparked an idea - I wanted this to be my career. I felt such joy in seeing the transformation in people, it felt like the most natural thing in the world to pursue.
I became a gym instructor, focussing on health over wealth. This led me to work at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation unit, and the seed was sown which would become my purpose in life.
From gym instructor to outreach worker to addiction counselling psychotherapist - my career in the wellbeing world blossomed.
I founded Connection Wellbeing Services in 2017, backed by National lottery funding, which went on to impact the community in amazing ways, quantified by Sheffield University to the tune of £1.5 million. I later went on and formed Connection Coaching, as a place to bring all my experiences and qualifications together. I have worked with individuals and groups, using yoga, art, fitness, orienteering, community work and even some local dances in the past and continue to strive to be as open and integrative to totally suit the uniqueness of my clientele.
​
Today, I deliver a very unique and powerful way of working in a hybrid blend of modalities, touching on the mind, body, soul via the conscious, the sub-conscious and the unconscious.
