Hypnotherapy

As a qualified clinical hypnotherapist I help people to let go of the old patterns and negative feelings using hypnotherapy In addition to hypnotherapy, I often use other modern approaches such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques).

I specialise in short-term or brief therapy. This means that on average clients require one to six sessions, depending on how complex the issue is. Not all hypno-therapists work in the same way, so I am happy to discuss with you how my approach might help. Each session is tailored to the needs of the individual, but you can expect the following :

• To be sitting in a normal chair throughout (no couches required!)
• To be aware and in control at all times (yes, even in hypnosis)
• To be carefully listened to, so as to understand the problem and clarify the outcome
• To learn how to release emotional blocks from your energy meridian system
• To alleviate problems in a safe and comfortable way
• To learn self-help techniques to accelerate your progress

How does hypnosis work?

Most of us would like to think that our actions and reactions are as a result of conscious, logical thought processes. But the largest and most
dominant part of our mind is the subconscious.

Hypnosis is an effective route to the subconscious, and by addressing the problem at this profound level, it is possible to bring about rapid and lasting change

Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT stands for 'Emotional Freedom Technique'. The easiest way to understand it is 'Acupressure for the mind'. Very simply it is the tapping of certain acupressure points whilst thinking about mental, physical or emotional issues. By doing so thoughts, feelings and actions can be changed very quickly for the better. It is used by well over a hundred thousand people around the world including medical doctors, psychologists health professionals, businessmen, teachers, children, entrepreneurs, musicians, and office workers, amongst many others, as a tool to rapidly improve the quality of life.

Reiki

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being. The session can be done with the client either lying down or seated, fully clothed, closing your eyes and listening to gentle, soothing music, which helps to produce a state of deep relaxation. Gently resting my hands upon you, non-intrusively, in a series of positions from the crown of the head to the feet.
