Overview

At this current time I practice on zoom only
I work with pain management

my interest in hypnotherapy started when I began studying and training in the helping modalities. These are life coaching, counselling, Cognitive behavioural therapy, and hypnotherapy.
I was born with cerebral palsy which affects my mobility and has lead to me having issues with pain and discomfort and I find that hypnosis and meditation helped me. I also spent long periods in hospital in my younger days, and so have some experience of the challenges life can present us with. I want to use my challenges and experience to help and support other people in similar circumstances.
My aim is to support clients with physical disabilities, mobility issues and pain management. The CBH model of hypnotherapy is shown to be effective in several areas such as anxiety and stress. It is a non-state model that aims to give the client back control over the story they tell themselves. It is important to have a strong collaborative relationship with the client as they have a big hand in the design of their treatment plan.
I offer a professional, confidential caring therapeutic service based on effective methods.

The approach I use combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT) to treat a wide range of conditions including anxiety, panic attacks, low confidence, phobias, insomnia, and pain management.

Hypnotherapy is a very personal journey for each individual this this depending on what your difficulties are. My sessions are also based on a Person-centred approach, recognizing you as the expert in what it means to be you. I will listen carefully without judgement and respond with empathy and honesty.

The CBH model is about teaching clients to become their own therapists in terms of psycho- education, having greater understanding of how to manage alongside techniques the clients can take forward outside of the sessions.

Using the CBH model I teach clients to do self-hypnosis so that you have a greater element of control over your thoughts and feelings.

hypnosis is really imagination therapy!
