Profile
I am a UKCP registered hypno-psychotherapist and adhere to its ethical framework. I am also trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an effective and efficient treatment for trauma. As part of my work within the NHS, I am also trained in harm reduction helping those suffering from the effects of drug addiction.
I use an integrative approach to therapy, combining hypnosis with cognitive behaviour techniques (CBT) to help clients identify the underlying cause of presenting symptoms and change unwanted patterns of behaviour. I provide an empathetic and non-judgemental environment for a client to be able to explore difficulties in their life.
I have experience of working with a range of stress related problems including depression, anger management, anxiety and panic attacks, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/trauma, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, bereavement, eating disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, pain relief, abuse, relationship/sexual issues, phobias and low self-esteem. I have also completed a research project on OCD.
I also provide support for couples preparing for fertility treatment, pregnancy, birth and parenthood through the use of hypnosis by helping to restore the natural balance in the body. For further information about this go to: www.thefertilebody.com.
