Louise Bowditch

I’m Louise, a qualified Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapist. I specialise in supporting those who are struggling with the negative effects of anxiety and anxiety related issues such as chronic stress, IBS, OCD, fears and phobias, negative thinking, low mood, low self-esteem and unresolved trauma (including PTSD/CPTSD).

Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy integrates psychotherapy, NLP, CBT and proven clinical hypnosis techniques but as every person is unique, I also blend it with a host of other cutting edge, evidence-based tools and techniques so my clients can manage, alleviate and recover from their particular set of symptoms, whatever they may be.

                             

I work with my clients either online via Zoom (which means I can work with clients from all over the UK and the globe) or face to face. Face to face sessions usually take place at a local holistic therapy clinic, although in particular circumstances, I may travel to a client's home (T&C's apply).

Regardless of where therapy takes place though, I support all my clients to step away from their everyday lives where their problems take over, where distractions are plentiful and where demands prevent them from being able to focus on themselves.

So how would you feel if you could let go of your past, not worry about the future and enjoy the present?

Thing is, you may not even be aware that unresolved trauma and the associated (and/or subsequent) unprocessed emotions are causing your current struggles because trauma is a subconscious injury and often doesn't make it's presence known or felt until a long time after the event.

Conscious interventions such as talking therapies can help but because trauma is a subconscious injury, it requires a subconscious intervention to process it and recover from it, hence why clinical hypnotherapy can be so powerful as trance is used to bypass the conscious mind and communicate directly with the subconscious.

If you want to alleviate your anxiety, process your unresolved emotions, address trauma and remove the negativity of the past, so you can focus on your present and create a future you love - get in touch now.

Testimonials

JK – Anxiety/Past Trauma Client: "Thank you for such a wonderful life-changing time. I feel as though I’m looking at life through a different lens. It’s incredible!"

ACM – Anxiety/Past Trauma Client: “It was such a pleasure working with Louise. She is so gentle and really takes the time to listen to what's going on, and then relates the therapy back to those specific challenges. For me, I was looking for help with managing my emotional response to memories of past trauma. It felt like a huge step to open up about my experiences and emotions, but she was incredibly reassuring and eased me into the therapy [...] In just a few sessions, Louise helped me to not just halt the emotional 'throwback' but I also got the chance to start rediscovering my identity and how I feel about myself. It was absolutely fascinating. I am very grateful to Louise for offering me the tools to help me move forward. Today I am much better equipped to handle memories of the past and the emotions that are associated with them.”

CF - Anxiety/Health Issue client: "Thanks you for all your help. I have not long returned from our family holiday in XXX, and I knew you would like to know that I had an amazing time, with absolutely no medical issues, the first time ever that I can remember!! 

IP - Anxiety/Low Mood client: "Louise is just amazing, she is so kind and caring and really listened to everything I had to say. We covered so much during my sessions but nothing felt rushed and everything was done at my pace. She has helped me so much and given me life long tools to use whenever I need them. I always felt so relaxed in the sessions and had lots of laughs. It was especially special to be able to have some sessions outside in nature and in lovely Bertha. Thank you Louise, you have changed my life."

SM - Anxiety/Low Mood client: “Louise offers a range of practical tools to help understand and manage anxiety and low mood, and to help cultivate positive thinking and a solution based approach. Her relaxation and hypnotherapy techniques are  skillful. I am deeply grateful for the sessions we had together." 

LMB - Low Mood Client: “When I first met Louise, I was in not in a good place at all and was suffering with a depressive disorder. Louise has been my shining light and helped guide and direct me to living a calmer and happier life. I've developed a completely new outlook and it's really opened my eyes and made me appreciate everything so much more. I feel much less stressed and anxious in my day to day life, as well as looking into the future. Thank you so much Louise, I cannot thank you enough.”

HP - Phobia Client: “Had another fantastic Hypnotherapy session today with Louise for my phobia of spiders and I’m feeling so confident and calm at the thought of dealing with them. To think that I managed (for the first time ever) to have the confidence to put a glass over a spider after just 2 sessions is amazing. Not only that, but I’m also finding myself being calm and content enough no not seek them out every time I enter a room.”

AT – Stress Client: “I started the journey with Louise with a few issues I wanted to work on and the more time I spent with her, the better I felt. Louise has a lovely, soothing, calm voice and a genuine interest in helping others. I finished the therapy in a far stronger place than when I started it, ready to face any challenges. I now understand that I can feel positive and hopeful, even with the difficulties life continuously throws me. It was a very insightful, peaceful and helpful process, thank you.”
