⚠️ Reframing Challenges – Strengthen, Balance, Adapt
We often overestimate threats and underestimate our ability to handle them. I help shift this mindset by enhancing coping skills, improving sleep, and promoting objective decision-making, so you can navigate life with greater confidence.
🌀 Hypnosis + Cognitive & Behavioural Techniques = Structured Change
I integrate Hypnosis with Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in a structured, project-driven framework. Together, we define SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) and track progress—ensuring real problems lead to real, achievable solutions.
🧭 Tailored Therapy Pathways – Focused or Multi-Therapy Approach
Whether you need a one-off hypnosis session for a specific issue or a multi-therapy journey addressing deeper cognitive patterns, my approach is designed for effective, evidence-based change that fits your unique needs.
🚦 Targeted Hypnosis for Single-Issue Change
- Ideal for addressing specific challenges such as smoking cessation, sleep improvement, phobia reduction, or confidence enhancement.
- Utilises direct suggestion hypnosis to reinforce new, positive behaviours.
Sessions focus on rapid subconscious conditioning to encourage automatic, effortless change.
🧩 Integrated Multi-Therapy Approach (CBH Model)
A structured framework combining Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Behavioural Therapy, and Hypnosis to create lasting transformation.
- Step 1: Behavioural Stabilization—Relieve Symptoms through controlled breathing, relaxation, cognitive rehearsals, and exposure strategies.
- Step 2: Cognitive Awareness & Restructuring – Identifying and challenging distorted thinking patterns such as catastrophising, mind reading, and self-doubt.
- Step 3: Core Belief Modification – Addressing deep-seated self-perceptions that fuel anxiety, avoidance, or limiting beliefs.
- Step 4: Cognitive Hypnosis Techniques – Guided imagery, mental rehearsal, and auto-suggestion to reinforce new thought patterns.
- Step 5: Long-Term Cognitive Maintenance – Self-monitoring, relapse prevention, and strategies for lifelong resilience.
This approach covers all psychological domains—situation, cognition, emotion, behaviour, and physical response—ensuring effective and sustainable change. Whether you need focused hypnosis for a single issue or a deeper therapeutic journey, our evidence-based strategies are designed to empower you with practical tools and lasting confidence. 🌱✨
