About me
Hello, a warm welcome to you.
I'm Ri from theprogress.life, an online Cognitive Hypnotherapist specialising in a variety of therapeutic methods to cater to the uniqueness of each client.
I employ a variety of therapeutic techniques based on my client and their presenting issues - therefore my therapy sessions are flexible and solution oriented rather than rooted in one psychotherapeutic school.
If you are facing challenges in your life, which can range from issues at home, at work, with other people or even yourself - from complex ptsd to anxiety, to anger or life lethargy, then we can collaborate to help you move on from these experiences. Furthermore, as my sessions are online, we can collaborate at a time and place that suits you best no matter where you are in the world.
My approach differs from traditional talking therapies, which can lead clients to just dwell on their problems. Instead, we focus on transforming negative experiences and emotions to facilitate change both neurologically and physiologically:
1. Collaborative Approach: I engage with clients through active listening, evaluations, and discussions, emphasising self-reflection and joint exploration of ideas and beliefs. This open environment allows for safe exploration of all aspects of oneself.
2. Hands-on Techniques: Utilising sensory-based, evidence-backed techniques, I help clients connect deeply with their mind and body. This includes journaling through drawing, writing, and other creative expressions, engaging beyond just logical thinking.
3. Interactive and Goal-Oriented: We focus on uncovering unconscious elements driving your challenges for faster, more effective results. This involves memory and sensation exploration and may include EFT tapping, stretching, and bodywork exercises, chosen according to your preference. This approach aims to enhance inner control and empowerment.
In our practice, hypnotherapy is not about inducing a trance to control actions or thoughts; rather, it recognises that clients may already be in a trance-like state when discussing their issues. My role is to enhance your ability to communicate and process these inner experiences, using your trance state to aid in your inner development and growth.
Clients might vividly visualise their problems, or feel them physically, or even hear associated sounds, as our bodies hold onto these memories in collective or various ways. Some individuals might initially struggle to remember anything, but hypnotherapy allows for a gradual and gentle revelation, akin to two archaeologists uncovering hidden treasures. You have the autonomy to decide what to do with these discoveries. All of this takes place in a nurturing and safe environment.
Drawing from my personal experiences with various therapies and a transformative journey through hypnotherapy for my own trauma and health issues, I retrained as a Hypnotherapist. My diverse life experiences across different cultures and sectors enhance my ability to connect with a broad range of individuals, infusing insights from my own path into my practice.
By being here, you are clearly taking steps towards experiencing shifts in your life. Please do not hesitate to contact me, so we can discuss how best I may be able to help you on your therapeutic path.
Please also have a look at my website for further information and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Therapy is not necessarily an end point - it's definitely a journey...
