Happiness in a Bag?

How a Shambolic Bag of Junk Can Provide the Catalyst to Lasting
Change.
QUESTION: What
everyday item has the potential to reveal unmet and
unarticulated needs?
ANSWER: A handbag (or even a
manbag, if that floats your boat). Which is why life coach and
corporate human-resources specialist and the UK’s ONLY official
handbag therapist Debbie Percy launched Handbag Therapy – a
unique and fun way to sort out your life.
“Until now, ‘handbag therapy’ has been associated with women who
get a kind of emotional release from buying the latest Chanel, Prada
or Louis Vuitton. But today it’s more about providing practical
insights and answers,” says Debbie who uses her credentials to take
a look at the contents of a handbag, manbag, purse or even backpack
to see what it reveals about the owner, and then provide a personal
and confidential ‘handbag analysis’. No long-winded therapy
sessions. No probing questions. Just a quick and pain-free way to
make positive changes.
“It’s about helping people improve their lives or simply get more
out of it … and at £9.99 (approximately $14, Euros 11) it’s much
cheaper than traditional therapy,” she laughs. “And a lot more fun!”
The informal analysis can also take the form of a party piece.
Gather a group of gals (or guys) together and Debbie will provide
face-to-face handbag readings. These can be either private or
carried out in the open for the more brave of heart.
Launched alongside her existing coaching business, Handbag Therapy
has recently been featured on BBC Radio 2 and Radio Leeds.
“Her assessments
are remarkably accurate, and provide valuable insight into how our
behaviours affect every aspect of our lives,” says says
Roni Williams, of The Roni Report.
“A reference to
the past, a comment on the present and a glimpse into the future!”
says Chris Evans.
