Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy provides direction and practical support in effecting change. A solution focus helps you to articulate what you want to change and where you want to get to; and proven techniques from the fields of cognitive and behavioural psychology provide practical solutions to put into effect during the week.
Hypnotherapy
Ultimately our behaviour and experience aren’t just determined by conscious thought and intent. Hypnotherapy teaches you how to relax deeply, access resources and reach understandings that wouldn’t be possible through conscious thought alone. Recorded audio listened to during the week also helps to ensure progress between sessions.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness teaches you to be your own therapist, provides you with insight into how your mind works and essentially, provides the breadth of perspective that allows to better co-exist with problematic thoughts, responses, feelings and physical sensations. This provides a significant reduction in suffering so that you can focus on what really matters to you.
Effective, long-lasting relief from Stress and Anxiety
My Approach
The three components of therapy outlined above are critical to ensuring lasting solutions for a wide range of issues. Together they enable you to detach yourself from your thoughts and feelings so that you can focus on doing the things that you value, and being the kind of person you choose to be, even in challenging circumstances.
After being in clinical practice for over 20 years and learning from some of the most respected practitioners in the UK and US, it is this combination that has proved most effective in helping clients with a wide range of issues.
In addition to helping private clients, I teach on our national diploma and advanced diploma programmes for hypnotherapists and run courses on Happiness and Mindfulness for public groups and corporate clients.
To find out more about this approach and how it can help you, I offer an initial consultation at no cost. If you are interested, please contact me using the form or telephone number below.
