About me

 

 

I offer a caring therapeutic service based on effective methods (as demonstrated in clinical research trials.)

 

 

My approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT), Philosophical Counselling, Meaning Centred Therapy and Existential Analysis to work with a wide range of conditions including smoking, drinking, anxiety, panic attacks, low confidence, phobias, insomnia and IBS.

 

I am a specialist in relaxation training, deep muscle relaxation, mindfulness and meditation - particularly working with social anxiety, general anxiety and panic attacks.

 

Clients receive not only deep hypnosis in the sessions they are also encouraged and motivated to work between the sessions with therapeutic self-hypnosis and relaxation exercises which form a core part of the treatment.

 

Each client learns key life skills in relaxation, self-hypnosis and how to challenge and replace one's own negative thinking. I place a particular emphasis on clients learning rapid deep relaxation skills and self-hypnosis.

 

I focus on getting clients back to optimal functioning as soon as possible.

Hypnotherapy sessions include formal assessments of emotional distress and fears - and progress is measured during the course of treatment.

 

I specialise in working with anxiety disorders, panic attacks, insomnia, low self-confidence, social phobia/anxiety, IBS, fear of flying and smoking cessation.

 

In the sessions hypnotherapy treatments utilise evidence-based methods and are focused on dealing with the here and now - rather than needing to analyse the past.
