HYPNOTHERAPY
Overcome challenges, reduce stress and unlock lasting change through the power of the subconscious mind.
Are you experiencing overwhelming stress or crippling anxiety? Or unrealistic fears or worry which have stopped you living life the way you would like to?
​
Or do you find yourself waking up at 2am, tossing and turning, getting increasingly frustrated at not being able to get back to sleep?
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective methods of changing unwanted behaviours, attitudes and thought processes. This gentle, modern therapy draws upon evidence based facts on neuroscience. I’m a certified clinical hypnotherapist of ten years, and I only use research based techniques.
Hypnosis isn’t a magic trick but it often feels that way!
The pathway to change happens in the talking therapy before hypnosis (be prepared for many 'aha' moments!). My advanced training in Solution Focused Brief Therapy means I have the expertise to ask you the right questions at the right time to help facilitate change.
Most importantly, we’ll work in co-operation, focusing on solutions, working towards your preferred future, rather than analysing and diagnosing problems or reliving painful memories of the past. In order for treatment to be genuinely successful long term, you’ll need to gain an understanding of how the brain works in relation to stress. This is covered in the first session and will be discussed in subsequent sessions. It’s also important to acknowledge that change happens because you want it to and because you are prepared to take the necessary steps to allow it to happen.
Hypnosis itself, is a very pleasurable experience and suitable for almost anyone. So, for whatever reason has prompted you to this site, why not take the next step, by getting in contact and booking in a free 20 minute no obligation consultation so we can have a chat about you. This can be carried out online via Zoom or over the telephone.
We’ll discuss what you’d like help with. I’ll give an honest answer as to whether I think I can genuinely help. Then I’ll explain how sessions are carried out and give you a rough idea of how many sessions I think you’ll need. You can ask any other questions and if you feel ready, you can book your first session.

Code of Conduct:
I work to a strict professional code of conduct which is set out by the National Council for Hypnotherapy. Confidentiality of data is compulsory, as is practice insurance. There is a requirement to continually advance one’s knowledge in the field of therapy with continued practitioner’s development throughout the year.
Please note that it’s always recommended that you discuss any treatment with your doctor. Whilst past success rates have been very positive, success is not guaranteed.

I specialise in 3 areas:
​
1. Anxiety
We all feel anxious, some of the time, it’s only human. But when we produce too much anxiety it can spiral out of control and be problematic. Anxiety can come in many guises. You may find that suddenly, for no reason, your heart starts pounding, you’re struggling to breathe, you break out in a sweat or you’re shaking. You feel like you’re going to die. Perhaps you know why it happened...the first time. Or perhaps your anxiety is less obvious, you’re going about your life in a normal way, but a lot of the time you find yourself worrying, or feeling panicky or nervous. You’ve probably forgotten what it’s like to feel normal.
Hypnotherapy can be extremely effective for regaining control of anxiety.
2. Stress
We can all cope with a bit of stress – but too much, for too long, has a negative impact on our wellbeing. Stress is not necessarily bad. We need a little bit nudge us into action, to get things done and to perform at our best. However, the kind of stress we now experience in modern society can have a negative effect. Persistent stress takes a toll on us both mentally and physically. Over time it will inevitably have a serious negative impact on our wellbeing, our happiness, our relationships and our work. Get in touch to learn how I can help with this.
3. Phobia
A phobia is an irrational fear that is so strong that it can bring on extreme anxiety or panic. Often, a strong need to avoid the circumstance will develop. You may well be aware that the fear is irrational and completely blown out of proportion but you can’t seem to control it and it becomes a problem in the way of living a normal life.
The most common phobia’s I help clients to overcome are; fear of presentations and public speaking, social phobia, driving and flying.
