Profile

I specialise in treating self-esteem issues as well as anxiety-based issues such as phobias, panic attacks, exam nerves, blushing, stress, habits and general anxiety in adults and children. I am also particularly interested in relationship issues and increasing motivation.

I came across hypnotherapy by accident and like many people I was somewhat skeptical. I very quickly realised however that it can be remarkably effective way of treating issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety and stress. Before I discovered hypnotherapy I suffered greatly with all three of these problems. Throughout my training I received hypnotherapy myself and I was genuinely amazed at the difference it made to how I felt and how quickly the change happened. So much so that I decided I wanted to specialise in these areas in order to help others the way I had been helped.

What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy works by allowing access to the unconscious mind via a state of deep relaxation. Through gentle suggestion unconscious thought patterns can be changed and new, more positive ones formed. These new thought patterns can then change how we think and behave.

Further Information

Hypnotherapy for children

It is frequently very difficult for children to put what they are experiencing into words as they often don't have the experience, confidence or vocabulary to do so. Hypnotherapy is an ideal way of helping children because they can be treated without the need to extensively talk through what they are going through unless they want to.

Children are often much easier patients than adults because their minds are far more open and accepting of new experiences. They have far more active and vivid imaginations which they use every day to help them learn about the world. This means they generally find the visualisation involved in hypnotherapy very easy and enjoyable. Also, their minds have not been conditioned in the same way as adults, that is they do not think about reacting in a way that others find acceptable.

As adults we have been reacting and behaving in ways that fit with our belief system about ourselves and the world for many years. These behaviours have therefore become a part of us. For children these belief systems (both positive and negative) and thier resulting behaviours are still forming. It is therefore far easier to change negative or unhelpful beliefs. As a result positive changes occur far more quickly when working with children.

I offer a free initial consultation for children in order to completely put your mind at ease and ensure both you and your child feel happy to commence therapy.
