Solution Focused Hypnotherapy - Helping you get your life back Solution Focused Hypnotherapy enables you to step away from your mental clutter and to focus on the future you want.

Hypnotherapy allows your subconscious to come to the fore. The negative thought processes that dominate your stressed, conscious brain are pushed back and your brain becomes more receptive to positive ideas. Experiencing a state of deep relaxation, you start to feel calmer and more in control.

Stress and anxiety, phobias, addictive behaviour, lack of confidence. Whatever is holding you back, I can help.

I look forward to working with you and helping you find a more positive future.

I can help you with… Anxiety & Stress The hectic, pressurized world we live in today creates all sorts of problems for us as human beings. When faced with stressful situations our basic human instincts kick in, with a fight or flight response. Adrenalin levels soar and we become unable to think clearly or make decisions.

Stress can build up over time in the background and if it is not addressed, it can lead to serious medical problems.

Over a course of several treatments you learn how to manage and control your thoughts so that you can get back the life you had lost. More energy, more positivity, more fun!

Confidence & Self Esteem Confidence is a state of mind. When we feel confident we accept ourselves and believe in our abilities.

Do you you lack confidence at work? You don’t put yourself forward for promotions. You avoid making presentations. Or perhaps you lack confidence in social situations? You worry about what people think. You struggle to accept compliments.

I can help you to feel better about yourself. Using an individualised approach, with modern therapeutic techniques, I can help you reduce your anxieties and become a calmer, more confident you.

Irrational Fears & Phobias You may have lived with an irrational fear or phobia for many years. Perhaps, you have missed another holiday because you can’t bring yourself to book a flight. Does visiting the dentist or GP surgery for a blood test or vaccination feels terrifying ! Our fears can have a real impact on our everyday life. For some people, the fear of driving can be so overwhelming, they struggle to a leave home at all. Such an intense fear or phobia can then lead to general anxiety, depression, and isolation. Hypnotherapy is a very gentle and effective method for overcoming fears and phobias. I use effective techniques to process the phobic response pattern and re framing it with a more positive helpful response.

Addictions & unwanted habits Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is highly effective in helping to address addictions, including alcohol, drugs and smoking. I take you through a process where you visualize your life without having to worry about your dependence.

Over a course of treatments, you learn how to manage and control your thoughts so that you no longer need the thing that previously you could not live without! There is no magic or blind faith involved. You just need to be determined, and totally committed to achieving your goal.

To quit smoking just one extended session is normally all that is needed.

Sleep & Insomnia Do you struggle to fall asleep? Do you wake up during the night and can’t get back to sleep? Are you constantly tired through lack of sleep?

With Solution Focused Hypnotherapy I can help you to understand how your brain works and how you can “remould” it. So that you feel calmer and more relaxed at bedtime and are able to once again get the benefit of a good night’s sleep.

Trauma & PTSD Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is essentially a memory processing error caused by a traumatic experience. Not everyone who is exposed to a traumatic event will develop PTSD but for those who do, the impact can be devastating. The involuntary recall of the trauma can be very distressing and is associated with avoidance behaviours, hyper-arousal and emotional numbing. It can affect relationships and impair the person’s ability to function and carry out normal everyday tasks.

PTSD can usually be treated very quickly – even when it has been present for a long time. C-PTSD can also often be treated relatively quickly, although it generally takes longer, as you would expect. My preferred treatment method for PTSD and C-PTSD is Dr David Muss’ Rewind Trauma Therapy.

The Rewind offers a way of permanently stopping the involuntary recall by filing the traumatic event so it comes under control. For many people with PTSD, the Rewind therapy is a valuable solution, it’s carefully measured and controlled to explore traumatic memories without disclosure of private details
