Profile

HYPNOTHERAPY, PSYCHOTHERAPY & COUNSELLING

I have been in practice as a Psychotherapist and Counsellor in Sussex since 1984. I trained for 5 years with the London Institute of Psychosynthesis, receiving diplomas in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have supervised and trained Counsellors in the Sussex and West Yorkshire areas for many years.
In 2008/9 I took extra training in Hypnotherapy and NLP as an additional tool to enhance my work. I use Hypnotherapy in conjunction with my Psychotherapy and Counselling work.

HYPNOTHERAPY FOR SMOKING, DRINKING & WEIGHT LOSS: I also offer a Hypnotherapy-only approach to help people to stop smoking, drinking and for weight loss.  Beginning with one session in which to explore all aspects of the problem including some history of the problem, the second session is a hypnosis session which will utilise information from the first session to produce a totally unique hypnotherapy for each individual client.  This individual approach has the very highest success rate with all the above problems. The fee includes a CD of the hypnosis session for back-up.  After this we will meet weekly to support the client to implement the changes until the client feels the changes are complete and permanent.

In my 25 years of Psychotherapy practice I have worked with a wide variety of clients with a very wide range of problems. I continue to work with whatever issues my clients bring to me but during this time I have also developed a speciality in working with people suffering from OCD (see my article) and also people suffering from Cancer (see my article on Psycho-Neuro-Immunology).
My core belief is that each person who chooses to have therapy is a unique individual with a unique problem. Having a wide variety of techniques enables me to find a unique way to work with each individual.
Above all, a successful therapy is not just about getting rid of the symptoms that caused a person to seek help, it is also about growing and moving forward in life with increased confidence and self esteem.
I work with both short term (6 session) contracts and long term contracts (work until the problem is dealt with).
I am UKCP Registered, fully insured, and work within UKCP ethical guidelines.
