Hypnotherapy is a combination of hypnosis and therapy which helps you to reach your full potential, creating a shift from within, resolving a huge range of issues such as stress, self confidence, unwanted behaviour or habits, phobia's & fears by accessing your subconscious and your desire to change.
Hypnosis is the process of addressing and overcoming problems by changing the way we think and behave. Hypnosis is a very relaxed, day dream like state and most people experience trances quite naturally in their everyday life, for example when engrossed in a book or daydreaming whilst carrying out a repetitive task.
Psychotherapy is a personal interaction using intergrative modalities to assist effective healing, supporting changes in behaviour, compulsions, thoughts beliefs and emotions to help improve an individuals well-being and quality of life.
My intergrative approach uses elements of different modalities. Psychodynamic\ Personal centred\EFT\ Hypnotherapy\ Attachment Therapy \BLS\EMDR\ DBT\\ NLP\ Trauma focused CBT approaches. I believe there isn't just one therapeutic approach that suits all , therefore my sessions are tailored to the unique individual.

"I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for travelling with me in my recovery. I never thought I would or could recover, I never knew what to do, I had been frozen and stuck for years. I had tried many avenues of recovery which did not work. You supported me in understanding my new life and who I am becoming. I am so greatful now, I feel connection, safety and balance, thank you for transforming my life." E
