Life Coaching
- I know I can do more; then, why don’t I actually do it?
- I’m forever stuck in the planning phase.
- Every good idea is held back with a “yes, but I…”
- Everyday things now seem harder; I feel worn out before I even begin.
- Too often that “just one more episode” or “just finish this next level” turns into hours of procrastination.
- Could it be… that I’m a failure?
Do these sound unsettlingly familiar?
Actually, all these statements are related — they’re all things Deep Victory clients often have been saying to themselves (whether they realise it or not.)
They are also the sort of self-statements that clients free themselves of, through their work with Deep Victory.
- failure to complete goals
- poor focus and concentration,
- inconsistent motivation
- racing thoughts when faced with decision,
- low energy,
- information overload,
- low frustration tolerance, especially for yourself,
Where we get stuck
Are YOU unwittingly your own worst enemy?
If you spend more energy wrestling with mindset and motivation, than actually getting the job done, you are sabotaging your own success.
Simply trying harder, or try-and-try-again, won’t get you any further. It will only wear you out more.
Occasional set-backs are just a part of life.
But persistent failure is not.
Whether the goal is
to launch a new international product, or
simply just to get the laundry done today,
— too many painful experiences
of failing to getting it done indicates
an entrenched problem in our psychology.
What if there were a way to systematically unravel the problem, and reveal it for what it is?
What if, armed with this understanding of internal processes, the resistance could just melt away?
How would life be different, if the next thing you decide to do, you did with complete certainty, for joy of the task itself, unstoppably you?
The way forward
That feeling you have of constant worry, of persistent self-doubt — that was not always there. It was something you learnt and, hence, can un-learn!
Don’t let a small aspect of your past define who you are today
Positive life change is always possible.
If that change still isn’t happening, help can still be found in professional counsel.
Deep Victory is a life coaching service helping people to tame their frantic, unhelpful thoughts, thereby freeing themselves to pursue what they really want in life.
Through the process clients gain self mastery and traction toward actually achieving their goals.
Coaching follows scientifically-tested models of human behaviour, and is delivered in a warm and meaningful personalised guidance session.
The service is aimed at capable, creative and intelligent people who nonetheless still struggle with their own internal set-backs, or who feel there’s nothing to gain from traditional psychological or counselling therapy.

Techniques and Methodology
The personalised care and training you get from Deep Victory brings together the best aspects of a personal trainer and a psychology-based counsellor.
Traditional “talk therapy” is brought to life with creative expression and active involvement in your own re-invention.
The techniques used integrate principles and process from a wide-range of disciplines which complement each other in fostering personal growth.
Three major approaches are shown here.
Psychology
- Psychological therapy mostly sticks to a range of specific methodologies that have been vigorously studied.
- Following on its roots, psychology tends to be problem-focused, and rigidly impersonal in assessment. Sessions are usually dictated by conditions set by health insurances.
Life Coaching
- Coaching is solution-focused, aiming not just to minimise pain, but to grow and prosper. It can be highly customised to specific and individual needs.
- Coaching is an unregulated industry, which unfortunately permits all manner of garbage theories, magic panaceas, and dubious practitioners to operate.
Hypnosis
- Hypnosis has a longer history than psychology or life-coaching. Unlike most contemporary psychologies, such as CBT, hypnosis works directly with the most powerful part of your mind — your subconscious.
- Despite some impressive claims, hypnosis is only a tool, not a package. Meaningful change is only possible when it is used as part of a comprehensive coaching or therapy plan.
Why Deep Victory?
Deep Victory is the culmination of almost 20 years of educating children and adults, results from a motivational science research group, and experience of having helped hundreds of patients in clinical psychology work across 3 different continents.
I’m Anton deVries, principal coach at Deep Victory.
In private practice I watched my exploited colleagues burn out, I saw personal records leaked to the public, and I saw many, many people unnecessarily suffering due to nothing more than bureaucracy.
I determined to find a more sustainable and humanistic way to offer my expertise to those needing it.

So, what you won’t get from Deep Victory:
- a burnt-out therapist telling you to avoid burn-out
- referrals and wait-lists with months of nothing happening
- patient data passed between health insurance and your employer or H.R.
- ruthless batteries of questions prying into all aspects of your personal life
- generic treatment plans taking many months, even years, to get results (or not even get any results)
- months of extra suffering just waiting for bureaucracy to catch up
What you do get, with every Deep Victory session:
- treated like the real, unique person that you are
- tools that work in the real world, you can use on a daily basis
- dedicated coaching plans, focusing on your exact strengths and needs
- lifelong benefits of results
- exceptional value for money
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
DBT grew out of a shortfall in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) which didn’t seem to be effective for certain people seeking therapy.
I’ve trained and worked at centres focusing on DBT and client-centred therapies. The last 4 years I‘ve been leading groups and individuals through mindfulness practice.
- Grit, positive affirmations, discipline, life passion, “just do it”, pomodoro, early morning routine, fake it ’till you make it, S.M.A.R.T. goals, be yourself…
It may seem like every person you meet, every blog you read, has their own idea of how to get motivated and finish goals. But opinion does not equal science.
Have you ever been excited to improve yourself after reading a self-help book, watching a youtube clip, or attending a motivational seminar? Did you return to the exact same place you were before, feeling like you’ve failed?
Chances are you were fed a quick hit of “energetic pathos” (hype) followed by basic tips on what once worked for them. What they never tell you, because even motivation gurus don’t realise, is that not all people and not all goals respond to the same techniques equally.
I was fortunate to study state-of-the-art motivational theory in Dr. Oettingen’s research group, drawing from the international pool of data to deliver my Masters thesis in motivation technique, at the University of Hamburg.
Hypnosis fades in and out of scientific respectability each century. Sigmund Freud was apparently terrible at it, and so hypnosis is all but ignored by psychology today, left for stage show and street performers to enjoy.
But just like meditation—hypnotism’s freestyle sister —its therapeutic relevance is gradually being rediscovered and studied once more.
Today, hypnosis is as useful in healing as it was 300 years ago. Or 3000 years ago. The artifice of communicating with the subconscious hasn’t changed, though our understanding of the relevant components has improved.
I have trained with Australian Conversational Hypnosis and the Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy, and use hypnotherapy techniques with clients requesting this.
Help at hand
One-to-one personalised sessions are offered online. Based on classic “talk therapy”, sessions are a flexible alternative to counselling. These sessions are discreet, and private, and are customised to the individual that is YOU.
There is also the possibility to enrol in the three week “Fearlessly Forward” structured program for tackling self-defeating thoughts, and gaining traction in your goals. The program is designed with the latest in motivational science, combined with psychotherapy foundations, and practical application of lifestyle “hacks”.
- Carefully constructed exercises are designed to incrementally expand your control over your thought patterns, building self-efficacy.
- To this is added a consistent feedback system on your progress, in the form of reports and regular check-ins.
- The core component is the regular online meetups, one-to-one with your experienced coach.
Results of therapeutic coaching
The Deep Victory process draws out under-utilised inner strengths, and applies them to your real world circumstances.
