About Dr Debbie Clement-Large
Having made a huge journey of my own - from dealing with the trauma of my dad’s death after my fifteenth birthday, to losing my confidence and self-esteem, to studying for six years only to find myself in an unfulfilling job, to re-inventing my career several times… I eventually began working in the arena of corporate change and witnessed first-hand the effect that continuous positive support can have.
So I retrained and qualified as an Advanced Life Coach, a CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) practitioner, a Meditation practitioner, a Mindfulness practitioner, a Stress Management practitioner, a Hypnotherapy practitioner and an Assertiveness Coach. I also undertook Heal your Life teacher training, and I am a licensed Spiritual Psychology Counsellor/Practitioner. I have a doctorate in Consciousness Studies with a focus on using meditation, imagery and hypnotherapy to create personal change.
All of this enables me to help people and organisations, to become more emotionally intelligent, to stress less and worry well. I passionately believe it’s never too late to create positive change and, aided by my own experiences, I’ve been able to guide individuals and organisations to achieve the success they want through one-to-one coaching, learning and development programmes, and also by giving talks and workshops, and speaking on BBC Radio. and Radio Plymouth..
Why follow the Herd
Change in life and business isn't always easy. People don't always like change, especially when it is forced upon them. Leaders in organisations don't always factor in the importance of supporting their employees through change. Yet lack of support can have a detrimental impact on both their employees and their business.
Change in our private lives can have a big impact, and contrary to popular belief, we can't leave our private life issues at the door and not bring them to work. They affect all areas of our life.
Why follow the Herd helps you get to the root of the issue and heal the core beliefs holding you back as well as building emotional intelligence, and emotional regulation to support your journey moving forward.

How it all started
I have been through many organisational restructures over the years and the feeling of emotional fatigue grew over time. I've also worked in change management and saw employees struggle with change too. I began coaching staff, but the amount of support I was allowed to put in was not enough to make a difference. I knew there was a better way... and Why follow the Herd was born in 2015.
I want to achieve...
We all have different ways of learning, and I have set out to create different programmes, from one to one coaching support, to online audio programmes tacking the things which keep us stuck from different angles. I see a world where we have greater emotional intelligence, empathy, love for ourselves and each other, and can navigate change with equanimity.
