Hypnotherapy for Trauma and PTSD

Trauma is defined as anything that exceeds your capacity to cope, and can be psychologically, emotionally, mentally and physically devastating. When we experience (or witness) frightening, distressing, or very stressful events, it can leave a deep scar on our psyche and impact the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world in general. Some trauma is a one off event- such as an accident, or violent incident- and some trauma is ongoing.

If you are impacted by trauma, working with me can help you to understand and unwind its effects- by increasing your capacity to cope, creating space from any unpleasant memories, giving you healthy self regulation tools, building your resilience and self compassion, unburdening you from its impact, and growing into a new sense of self.

PTSD- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder- is a mental health condition which is caused by trauma. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, insomnia, having problems with concentration, self image, and mood, and feeling anxious and overwhelmed all the time.

There are several ways I can lessen the impact, including Hypnotherapy for PTSD to help restructure any negative subconscious self image that may have developed, (including guilt, blame and shame) EMI to lessen and eliminate any distress attached to the memories, and TRE to release the physical impact such as muscle bracing and inability to relax.

Please note- I am not able to clinically diagnose you with PTSD- please see a medical professional for an official diagnosis if you suspect you have PTSD.

“I cannot recommend Ella highly enough. When I made my first appointment with her I was in a very dark place and was frequently self-harming.

Ella used a combination of hypnotherapy and EMI with me to re-visit some of my most painful memories and help to connect them with happier memories, thereby reducing my fear and feelings of guilt and despair and helping me to make sense of my emotions. She has added to the hypnotherapy and EMI with TRE, helping me to learn to apply the trauma release techniques myself. 

I can’t put into words how grateful I am for Ella’s kindness, professionalism and knowledge in helping me to come to terms with the past and have a more positive future.”
