About me
Professional Psychotherapy, Counselling & Hypnotherapy
Are anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, or unwanted habits holding you back? We may all struggle at some point with issues regarding mental health. These can be debilitating and impact not only on ourselves, but those around us we care about. However, help is available.
With a three-step method tailored to your needs, I combine Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, and Counselling to guide and support you effectively:
- Understanding your specific needs
- Developing a personalised approach
- Working with you to achieve lasting progress
I am a dedicated and compassionate integrative psychotherapist with specialist training in clinical hypnosis. My approach is client-centred and holistic, combining various therapeutic modalities to provide tailored support for each individual. With years of experience in the field, I am committed to helping clients overcome personal challenges, manage stress, and develop resilience through a combination of evidence-based psychotherapy techniques and clinical hypnosis.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw from multiple psychological theories and therapeutic models, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. By blending these methodologies, I ensure that therapy is uniquely suited to each client's needs, fostering growth, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.
Specialism: Clinical Hypnosis Clinical hypnosis is a powerful tool that facilitates deep relaxation and heightened focus, allowing clients to access their subconscious mind in a safe and controlled manner. I incorporate clinical hypnosis to help clients address various issues, including:
- Anxiety and stress management
- Trauma
- Phobias and fears
- Smoking cessation and other habit changes
- Chronic pain and medical conditions
- Sleep disorders
- Confidence building and self-esteem enhancement.
What to Expect In our sessions; we will work collaboratively to explore your concerns and develop practical strategies for change. Whether through traditional talk therapy or guided hypnosis sessions, I aim to empower you with the tools needed for personal transformation. My therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, ensuring that you feel safe and supported throughout the process.
I offer therapy for individuals from diverse backgrounds and age groups. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
Get in Touch If you are ready to take the next step toward positive change, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Together, we can create a path that aligns with your goals and aspirations, helping you lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
