My Role
My role as a therapist is to provide support, advice and techniques to help you achieve your goals in a safe, non-judgemental environment where you feel comfortable to share your problems.
The more actively involved you are and willing to participate during treatment the more successful therapy will be. Being committed to the treatment plan will help you build self-confidence and you will benefit quicker and more powerfully from cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy.
Mindfulness-Based Therapies
Mindfulness-Based Therapies including MBCT and MBSR have been scientifically shown to be an effective complement to a wide variety of medical and psychological conditions including:

Anxiety
Sleep disturbances
Recurrent depression
Mood disorders
Chronic pain
Stress
As the symptoms of anxiety can vary considerably from person to person treatment plans are always tailored specifically to an individual’s needs.
Please do not hesitate to call or email me for a free initial consultation to discuss how best I can help you.
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a form of talking therapy that can help you overcome your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It is based on the idea that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are all interconnected and that negative thoughts and feelings can leave you trapped in a vicious cycle. CBT deals with your current problems, rather than focusing on issues from the past.
In addition to the very strong research supporting the use of CBT for a wide range of conditions, such as anxiety, there is now good evidence to suggest that when hypnotherapy is combined with CBT the resulting treatment is significantly more effective than CBT alone.

Therapy sessions last between 1-1.5 hours (sessions might run longer if we are practicing longer hypnoses or meditations as part of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy/Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction).

Sufficient time is also set aside for clients to talk abut the different issues that may come up between session without any pressure or time constraints.
