Therapies:
Person-Centred/Integrative Counselling/Psychotherapy, provides a safe space for you to be understood, respected, and listened to empathically without judgement. A range of theories and modalities such as; person-centred/humanistic therapy, CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, transactional analysis therapy, psychodynamic therapy and meditation/relaxation techniques, may be used to provide the right therapy for you.
Hypnotherapy, is an effective form of therapy used to treat conditions, issues or change unhelpful habits. It harnesses the power of suggestion to encourage positive change, whilst the client is in an ‘altered state of awareness and relaxation’. I offer single sessions and also Hypnotherapy Programmes, which are a set number of sessions and combine Hypnotherapy with Counselling, Psychotherapy and specific techniques and strategies. I have also created and audio recorded a selection of Hypnotherapy Downloads, to aid relaxation, well-being, alleviate anxiety and stress, improve confidence and self-worth and aid restful sleep - these can be downloaded from my website.
