Here’s how I can help you…

In each section below, you will find information on the benefits of the therapies, which issues they can help treat and how I approach these therapy sessions. For details of location, costs & other practical matters, please see my FAQs.

Psychotherapy & counselling can help resolve health problems such as depression and anxiety.

By exploring your past, to understand how it has shaped you, and bringing awareness to your feelings and emotions, these therapies can also help to treat stress, trauma and addiction.

 

Here are some benefits of psychotherapy & counselling:

– Reconnect with your body and internal world. Embrace emotions, make friends with feelings and understand their purpose & power.

– Learn how to regulate, and take control of your powerful emotions & feelings, such as anger, anxiety, stress, fear, or frustration.

– Explore the past, and re-write your personal script, for a life that works for you, rather than against you.

– Realise your potential, feel in control and learn to take responsibility for being the real you.

These are some examples of issues I help people work through:

Mental health & wellbeing; depression; anxiety – General Anxiety Disorder (G.A.D), social anxiety; anger management; stress management; burn out; addictions -technology, social media, food, gambling, sex, work; self-harm; self-esteem; trauma; abuse – gas lighting, emotional, mental & physical; panic attacks; OCD; menopause.

This is how I approach psychotherapy & counselling sessions:

I do not subscribe to the idea that depression and other mental health issues are diseases, and should be ‘treated’ with medication. Instead, my holistic approach results in sustainable transformation. My therapy is medication for the mind without the drugs!

I take a person-centred approach and believe that mental health issues are our mind’s way of telling us that something needs attention. 

Is it time to break free of your past and take control of your future? 

Personal development coaching takes you from the present, into an imagined future, where if you can dream it, you can achieve it.

I offer two types of personal development coaching – transformational and transactional. Transformational coaching involves working at a deeper level exploring internal drivers, emotions & feelings and with focus on achieving intrinsic goals such as identifying your purpose & finding true happiness. Transactional coaching is focused more, on external goals such as those surrounding your finances, relationship and career. With my help you can identify and action practical steps to achieve your goals.

Here are some benefits of personal development coaching:

– Develop a growth mind-set and positive mental attitude.

– Close the gap between who you think you are and who you feel you are – this ‘gap’ where depression, anxiety, OCD thrive.

– Break the patterns and remove the blocks that hold you back.

– Change habitual, compulsive, repeating, unhelpful behaviour.

– Overcome fear – it’s not about suppressing fear but expanding your comfort zone until it’s not scary anymore!

– Manage your negative thinking and harmful self-talk.

– Create positive self-regard & self-esteem.

These are some examples of blocks I help people work through:

Reaching your potential and closing the ‘gap’; identifying who you really are;  getting clear on your values, passion and purpose; managing a mid-life crisis; finding happiness; increasing your motivation & reducing pro-crastination; building resilience  and developing a growth mind-set; realising relationships goals; improving your finanes; working on your work-life balance; achieving helathy weight loss.

This is how I approach personal development coaching:

With a focus on mindfulness and emotional intelligence, I guide you as you become more self aware and learn ho wto manage your emotions and your actions.

Employing a combination of Solution Focussed Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) I help you to achieve your goals – both intrinsic and external.

Is it time to gain clarity over what you want in your life, and how to succeed in achieving it?

Hypnotherapy can help you re-set, re-write and re-learn. It will enable you to move forward and achieve lasting, sustainable changes.

What I offer is not the same as stage hypnosis – I won’t have you barking like a dog or running around like a chicken! When you are in trance you are aware of what is happening, you are in control, experiencing a very pleasant state of total relaxation, calm and clarity.

Here are some benefits of clinical hypnotherapy:

– Resolve trauma and painful memories, without reliving the past.

– Release entrenched patterns of thinking, limiting beliefs, and stubborn blocks, effortlessly and quickly.

– Let go of unwanted behaviours for sustainable change.

– Eliminate phobias & achieve permanent results.

These are some examples of issues I help people work through:

Weight loss; phobias; smoking cessation; addictions; irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); insomnia; body dysmorphia; bedwetting; tourettes; hair pulling & clothes chewing.

This is how I approach clinical hypnotherapy:

Hypnotherapy can remove any stubborn blocks that create obstacles to moving forward! In order for you to make any lasting, sustainable changes, they must first occur in your subconscious, as this is where your habits and responses are established.

I utilise hypnotherapy techniques that include: regression to cause, rewind techniques, reframing, guided visualisation-hypnotic suggestion, parts integration, future pacing, ideomotor signalling, past life regression and NLP techniques.

Is it time to resolve ‘hard to reach’ content, in a safe and relaxing way?
