What do you love most about your job?
I love working with people in general and when I can provide a safe space for them to explore their thoughts and feelings and help them move away from difficult issues, I am overwhelmed by the privilege and try my best to make a difference.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always been in a role where I have supported people and for many years I worked in a role that helped people become qualified to become Counsellors and others to understand Psychology and Mental Health conditions. I have had my own challenges and getting through these has inspired me to help others, using my extensive toolkit.
Why should our clients choose you?
I provide a warm yet professional and safe environment for clients to really dig deep into their issues, triggers and thought processes. I use a variety of other therapies alongside hypnotherapy, such as CBT, NLP, EFT (Tapping), and EMDR (Eye Movement) to name a few and this allows me to really tailor the therapy for each individual client to get the best results. I follow up with personal emails and support each session.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I provide a comfortable and discrete therapy room from my home address, where parking is available.
I can also provide therapy online using Zoom generally but I can use other online platforms as required.
I can also provide a mixture of both online and face-to-face therapy, completely tailored to the client.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Online therapy will of course meet any COVID requirements but if you prefer face-to-face my therapy room is adapted to meet all Government requirements with hand sanitiser, plenty of time for cleaning/airing between clients, space for social distancing and I can wear a face shield as requested. I'd like to think that my clients feel safe whatever method of therapy they choose and that this is a moveable decision. I'm happy to try and meet any reasonable request if it makes a client feel safer.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a natural state of heightened awareness (known as a trance) which helps your therapist access your sub-conscious mind where all your thoughts, emotions and memories reside. We get you into a "trance" state - which feel a bit like the stage between wakefulness and sleep. It can be a very light trance or a deeper trance. Everybody experiences it differently and you don't have to be "deep" for Hypnotherapy to work. The client is always in control and it is pleasant, relaxing and there is no pressure to perform.
I can then make suggestions to your sub-conscious mind and these are taken on board and acted upon in the following hours and days.
There will be a talk with me before the actual hypnotherapy and that is an important part of the session when you really start to think about the issue, where it stems from, how it affects you. This talk also allows me to start to know you and how you think and can tailor the session to you, which makes it more effective.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Therapy - Tapping)
Our emotions are triggered by energy and we can identify certain points on the head and body that will hold this energy. If we tap on these points with our fingers, following a certain sequence it can really help to calm emotions. There can be a really powerful shift in how you feel using this therapy.
Parts Therapy
We are all made up of different parts, all driven by various needs and built up over the time of our lives. I can do parts therapy to access these parts and try to identify any that might be carrying out a role that is no longer required and is causing unhelpful behaviours and emotions. A very powerful therapy that works well with Hypnotherapy.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
A very useful and powerful tool within the toolbox which works beautifully within a Hypnotherapy session. Moving your eyes in a certain way and sensing other things like tapping and clicking whilst being guided to think of a triggering event, can reduce any strong emotions linked to that event.
