How I work

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a brief, solution focused type of hypnotherapy for anxiety, trauma, phobias, stress, limiting beliefs and chronic pain- and some of these issues may have been persistent and ongoing- so we are aiming to resolve your problem as quickly as possible, but the process won’t be rushed.

Hypnotherapy is conducted in a light trance state- which just involves being relaxed and receptive. There’s no big mystery to it, and its not just a passive process- its another form of conversation. For more information, click here.

If you need help with persistent pain, I will Explain Pain to you an accessible, understandable way. I can help you expand your knowledge of the mechanisms behind persistent pain- this will help you get out of pain.

You may be interested to try TRE- if so, I can guide you through the exercises and help you to connect to your body to release tension, anxiety, stress and trauma.

If I identify breathing dysfunction which may be contributing to your mental, emotional and/or physical health issues, we can start to correct your breathing with Buteyko Breathing exercises.

If we agree you will benefit from Health Coaching, this aspect of my work can be seamlessly integrated into your sessions with me.

The plan will be regularly assessed by us as the sessions progress. I aim to have you feeling better straight away, but most issues will need multiple sessions, and the results will build over time.

Some people will benefit more from a program of multiple sessions over a 2 to 3 month time frame. We will work together to find out what suits you best, and to get the best possible outcome for you.

We will set realistic goals, and update them as necessary. We may stick to one modality, or we may use several depending on your requirements and preferences, and my recommendations.
