Clare Rusby

I'm an Accredited Psychotherapist offering Hypnotherapy and Integrative Counselling.  I can also offer both in one session which is a very powerful way of making permanent changes.  

I want to make a difference to people who are looking to make changes whether it be weight loss, stopping smoking, phobia's or other fears, anger management, public speaking, driving test or exam nerves, It could be something as simple as wanting to be able to concentrate more and be more focused on goals. There is nothing that hypnotherapy cannot help with.

Some changes need only be small to make a difference.  For example, if you want to lose weight, suggestions about healthy eating (using foods you actually like) will make a difference rather than trying to force yourself to stop eating everything you like, even if it is bad for you.  Wouldn't it be better to just eat pizza one night a week instead of 4 and make healthier choices the other nights rather than trying to stop yourself eating pizza entirely. That will just lead to misery.  The same can be said for reducing drinking, or going to the gym.  You don't need to try and force yourself to go 5 nights out of 7 when say 2 or 3 will suffice to start and in so doing will start to form a new "habit" which will be easier to maintain and you may actually enjoy it!

I have a particular interest in stress and anxiety and what it does to the body and the mind. Some stress is good for us, it's what gets us out of bed and focused in the morning but too much stress affects a persons physical as well as mental health. A large percentage of the population suffer with chronic stress or anxiety. Stress is our bodies natural reaction to fear and change. Our subconscious, which is responsible for our survival, sends us into fight or flight mode when it perceives a threat to us. Unfortunately, it does not differentiate between genuine life-threatening danger and every day occurrences such as a meeting with the boss or being late for work.

Symptoms of stress are:

- not sleeping well
- gaining weight, especially around the abdomen even when eating well and exercising
- more prone to infections and colds
- increased backaches, neckaches and headaches
- gut/digestion issues
- mood swings, anxiety and depression
- lack of libido

Stress can also lead to mineral and vitamin deficiencies in the long term such as:

- cracked lips (vitamin B6)

- teeth grinding (vitamin B5)

- white spots on the nails (zinc)

- constipation and diarrhoea (magnesium)

- bleeding gums (vitamin C)

- raised spots on limbs (vitamin E)

- throat and chest infections (vitamin A)

The good news is that stress and anxiety are easily treatable with hypnotherapy. You will be taught relaxation techniques and coping strategies to really make a difference to your day to day life, both personally and professionally.

****I have had particular success with a practice called Hypno-Counselling. ****

Do you keep having recurring anxiety? you may have had medication and/or counselling or hypnotherapy before and been symptom free for some time but now you've found its come back and perhaps even worse than before! Why? because there is a deeper issue that remains unresolved, maybe since childhood.  Hypno-counselling is a mixture of counselling and hypnotherapy in a 90 minute session.  If you want to know more about this treatment, please look at my website mindandbodysolutions-southport.com where you will find detailed information on the process and how it works

Whatever your concerns are, there will be a solution to your problem, we just need to find it.

See further information for what happens during the initial appointment and treatment sessions

Contact me, either by email or telephone and we can chat about what you are looking for.

I offer sessions on line via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.  I can also offer sessions over Facetime or WhatsApp if that works best for you.  Hypnotherapy works just as well on line as it does face to face with the added advantage of being able to have sessions from the comfort on your own home.   There really is a lot to be said for no travel hassles alongside the comfort of your own settee or bed to lay on,  together with a cup of tea/coffee in your favourite mug to aid relaxation and comfort.

I look forward to talking to you.

ARRANGING TREATMENT FOR HYPNOTHERAPY

Contact me and we can arrange a mutually convenient time to have a chat.   I'll take some details from you and we can discuss what you need help me and how the sessions will work.  I can also answer any questions you may have.

What happens during treatment sessions

I will have written a bespoke hypnosis session tailored to exactly what you need following the initial consultation so your treatment progresses successfully.

Treatment sessions are usually about an hour long.

What happens during Hypno-counselling sessions

Each session is 90 minutes long.  The first part of the session is the Counselling Part which deals with why you have the problems/issues you currently have, and we work to resolve the underlying causes. The second part of the session is the Hypnotherapy script.  The two modalities combined make a powerful combination for the permanent resolution of symptoms.

I hold an Enhanced DBS Check Certificate (used to be called CRB Check) and so can work with children and vulnerable adults.

Hypnotherapy is just as effective on line as it is face to to face.  Interestingly the testimonials on my website and my google reviews are mainly from client's that I have worked with primarily via zoom or other online platforms.
