Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not something that is wrong with a person. It is a collection of symptoms which are a reaction to something, or a number of things,  that have happened to a person.

Clinical hypnotherapy tackles PTSD/Trauma on a subconscious level, without the need for addictive medications, and much faster than many ‘talking therapies’. Sufferers often see an improvement in their symptoms from the very first clinical hypnotherapy session, and elimination within weeks. The way to achieve this is to find out the root cause, or causes, of the physical reactions by using ‘Hypno-analysis‘.….

 I offer online/zoom or in person sessions in my therapy room. I am Located in the lovely village of Newington, in-between Rainham Sittingbourne & Maidstone.

Having had hypnotherapy myself to stop smoking, I know from first-hand experience how effective it is in helping you change a habit or behaviour.

My previous work history also involved a number of years working, with Kent police, as an emergency call handler & dispatcher. So, training as a therapist, felt like a natural progression for me.

I attended classroom training with the Kent Institute of Clinical Hypnosis, based at Mid-Kent College. I earned my Certificate & Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy with Psychotherapy and certificate in Hypno-analysis. 

I now work part time as a classroom assistant for the Kent institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy, https://kentinstituteofclinicalhypnosis.co.uk/about-us/

Do you find yourself trapped in the relentless grip of anxiety, unable to escape its suffocating embrace? You're not alone. Anxiety affects millions of adults worldwide, manifesting in various forms and intensities. But there is hope, and relief is within reach through the transformative power of clinical hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

At Calming Breeze Therapies in Newington, Kent, I understand the debilitating effects of anxiety and the desire to find natural relief. That's why I offer an alternative approach that combines clinical hypnotherapy and EFT, providing a safe and effective solution for managing anxiety and reclaiming control over your life.

Anxiety isn't just a fleeting worry or nervousness; it's a complex interplay of emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations that can disrupt your daily life. From the constant racing thoughts to the tightness in your chest and the overwhelming sense of fear, anxiety can leave you feeling powerless and overwhelmed.

 But fear not, for there are tools and techniques that can help you break free from anxiety's grip. Clinical hypnotherapy and EFT offer powerful ways to address anxiety at its core, providing natural anxiety relief without the need for medication or invasive procedures.

 Clinical hypnotherapy taps into the power of your subconscious mind, where deeply ingrained beliefs and patterns reside. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapy helps reframe negative thought patterns, instilling a sense of calm and confidence within you. It's a gentle yet potent tool for reducing anxiety, promoting relaxation, and fostering inner peace.

Embracing Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT): EFT, also known as tapping, is another powerful tool for managing anxiety. By gently tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on the emotions and sensations associated with anxiety, EFT helps release emotional blockages and restore balance to your body's energy system. The result? A profound sense of calm and clarity, even in the face of life's challenges.

 If you're ready to break free from the shackles of anxiety and embrace a life of peace and serenity, I’m here to support you. My tailored approach combines the best of clinical hypnotherapy and EFT to help you overcome anxiety, reduce stress, and regain control over your life.

Contact me today: Don't let anxiety hold you back any longer. Take the first step towards natural anxiety relief and contact me today. Together, we'll embark on a journey of healing and I transformation, empowering you to live a life filled with joy, confidence, and inner peace.
