At some point in our lives most of us face challenges that we seek help for.

Hypnotherapy can offer a supportive, relaxing and effective way to support people, adults, young people and children.

Effective Hypnotherapy aims to put you back in control of your thoughts and behaviours,  working at a pace that suits you and supports you to overcome any challenges that have been getting in the way .

Originally trained and working in London as a Person Centred Counsellor and then as a registered and qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, I have many years' experience helping adults, teens and children with a wide range of problems:

• Bullying, insomnia, anxiety, support for ADHD

• Building resilience, bullying, self-exclusion, self-esteem

• Phobias: needle phobia, flying, tests

• Weight-loss, addictions, quit smoking, alcohol & food addictions, PTSD

I’m also very experienced in helping teenagers and children and offer a safe space to start overcoming:

• Disordered eating, anorexia, selective eating , bulimia, exam nerves, bullying, bed-wetting, driving test nerves, school anxiety, sports performance, confidence, separation anxiety, loss of self esteem & phobias

This is by no means an exhaustive list. If you are looking to change unhelpful feelings, behaviours or habits, solution focused hypnotherapy and CBT hypnotherapy may offer that effective support and bring that positive long term change you seek.

Now with the additional option of online hypnotherapy sessions I can work with clients who may have difficulties travelling, leaving home or who live further away.

You can find out more about booking a session here. It can be reassuring to know that I offer free phone consultations if there is anything you would like to ask or discuss before you see me.

 PTSD , phobia’s, panic attacks, fears, trauma, anxiety

People with phobia’s, fears and high levels of anxiety often experience seemingly irrational responses to animals, objects, insects, actions or particular places. They may be having panic attacks.

This is an intense stress response and it happens when our survival brain kicks in and we go into fight, flight, fawn or faint response. I have clients describe it as being ' ‘ paralysed by fear’, or ‘ being frozen to the spot and wanting to be sick’ or like an out of body experience. It can be very frightening and sometimes may seem to come out of the blue. There may be a past event triggered this survival response and now even the thought of a past or future event may set it off.

Our fears and phobia’s can interrupt and effect our daily lives and relationships. We might suffer from guilt and embarrassment as it stops us doing things we want to do or need to do. Perhaps stopping you flying or even booking a trip away or driving or travelling or a child attending school because of a fear of pupils being sick. Phobia’s seem very creative in how they show up and it all comes down to an unconscious sense that we unsafe and under threat.

There is much research on how hypnotherapy can help reduce and help people overcome their fears. Soldiers returning from the battle field have overcome PTSD using hypnotherapy. I have worked with many clients who have experienced severe trauma and PTSD and clients who may have developed a fear of flying . Clients who have overcome their fears and no longer have panic attacks at the thought of flying and go on to book flights and look forward to their holiday. Adults and children who have moved on and re engaged with life.

We can work gently together to ‘ reset’ your flight or fight response, turn down those high levels of adrenaline and help you move forward.

If you would like to talk to me first about how I might help you then you can book a free 15 minute phone consultation.
