Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy

Counselling and Psychotherapy

I offer counselling, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy.   I am trained in and use range of approaches including: person centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Gestalt and Transactional Analysis.

I tailor my approach so it is personalised to your individual needs and goals. Counselling/ Psychotherapy with me will allow you a safe therapeutic space to explore your thoughts and feelings, identify your strengths and build on your resilience.  I believe the answers to our questions and difficulties are within ourselves and counselling/ psychotherapy can help empower you to identify what is right for you in your life, building on confidence and self-esteem and resilience.  

I offer specialist support with stress, anxiety, sleep, confidence, fears and phobias.

I have found that using a combination of Counselling/ Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy can be a very affective and empowering form of therapeutic support.

I offer psychotherapeutic counselling/ psychotherapy which is a more in dept form of therapy that facilitates long term change and recognises the impact of trauma. It helps you to express your feelings and gain deeper insights into your experience. 

Counselling/ Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy can help you to find better ways of coping with stress and anxiety and support you towards healing from trauma. This will help you to feel more confident, in control of your life and supportive improvements in sleep and well being.

Counselling and Psychotherapy can also help you to improve the relationships in your life and helping you to improve communication skills and maintain positive boundaries.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can be described as a set of techniques that are used to achieve a state of mind where an individual’s responsiveness to suggestion is increased, which allows them to make beneficial changes to their thought patterns and behaviours.  Hypnotherapy is a perfectly safe and natural therapy. 

There are many myths about hypnotherapy like that you can be forced to cluck like a chicken or made to act silly on a stage.  However, hypnosis really just feels like being in a deeply relaxed state.  When the state of hypnosis is achieved your brain, waves have been slowed down, enabling you to feel very deeply relaxed in an almost dreamlike state.  It is like the moments before you fall off to sleep.  In the process of hypnotherapy, the individual remains fully in control and is still able to reject any hypnotic suggestions they do not agree with and bring themselves out of hypnosis if they wish.

Using the techniques involved in hypnotherapy I am able to support you to access your subconscious mind and provide positive suggestions that will help you to take control of your thinking patterns and thus support you to make the changes in behaviour that you desire.  I will work closely together with you to ensure the suggestions I use are in agreement of the changes you would like to make.

I use hypnotherapy as a tool of empowerment towards overcoming your difficulties, taking control of your life and achieving your goals.  I can work with you supporting you to access and unleash your skills and talents towards achieving your goals and living a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.
