The combination of these two therapies is a powerful one 💪

Hypnotherapy and EMDR supporting and assisting each other 🙌

Giving clients a comprehensive, all encompassing therapeutic experience 💯

Using hypnotherapy for stabilisation and preparation and EMDR for reprocessing 👀

This integration is particularly powerful in treating Complex PTSD, developmental trauma, early childhood trauma with fragmented memory,
phobias or somatic symptoms with unclear origins 🤷
Deeply held negative self belief and shame🥺

In the autumn I'll begin my training in EMDR so that I can offer my clients the benefits of this ground-breaking therapy ✨

If you think this is something that might help YOU and you want to be part of MY journey get in touch as I'll be looking for case studies soon ❤️

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

This therapy focuses on directly altering the thoughts, responses and emotions resulting from traumatic experiences 😢

Its intention is to change the way in which the memory is stored within the brain 🧠

The method involves movement of the eyes in a way in specifically designed to reduce the vividness and emotion associated with traumatic memories👀

Join me as I learn more about this approach and find out who and why it can help ❤️

The subconscious mind is the force that drives us all 🧠

Recent studies in neuro science have shown that areas in the brains designated to decision making are activated up to 10 seconds before conscious awareness 💡

The subconscious mind controls subconscious learning, thought interaction, intuition and choice, unconscious processes and actions 🎬

Ultimately, it INFLUENCES our behaviour 👍👎Good and Bad!

Sounds a lot doesn't it? 🤯

The MIND is a complexity of thoughts, memories, feelings and ideas. And every single mind is UNIQUE 🌟

Just like you ❤️

We all know that eating less and exercising is the healthy way to lose weight 💪

But how can hypnotherapy help? 🤔

With a ’virtual gastric band’ 🧠 your subconscious mind can help with your perceived appetite and eating habits. 🍽️ 🥪

I work holistically with my clients who want to lose weight.
Together we evaluate your lifestyle and past eating habits as a whole.
We delve into the reasons why you have lost control over your eating habits. 🍏 🍌 🍰

This treatment is intensive and involves several sessions, carried out over a 12 week period. 🗓️

Designed to uncover the real reasons why you are not having success losing weight. 🔮
We’ll develop new ways of eating, new habits and explore the areas which are holding you back the most. ⛓️

In conjunction with your own needs and requirements I will help develop a personalised plan that can not only help you to lose weight but it designed to keep the weight off – Forever! ♾️

Prescription free, no surgery 🩺 and definitely no fussy diets.

If you are anything like my former smoking self you’ll have tried every trick in the book to stop 🛑

You'll have worn the patches, tried the gum, read the books and gone cold turkey 🦃

You might have lasted a day or two but inevitably the urge was just too strong 💪

You’ll convince yourself you enjoy it, that it’s social, that you can afford it 🤑

That's because its an addiction ☠️

Ni****ne is highly additive and increasingly expensive 💰

Smoked it damages the lungs 🫁 and over time can be fatal ⚰️
We all know that!
How do you stop⁉️

Hypnotherapy works! 💡

I know it does and so do my clients. (check out my testimonials) 📜

When you come to me to quit the habit you'll leave as a non smoker.
It’s as easy as 🔤

Why not make 2025 your year to QUIT?

A packet a day habit is likely costing you over 5k a year 🏦
Ouch! 🩹 That's a small car 🚗 or an expensive holiday 🏖️

My fees sink into comparison at a mere fraction of that price

With smoking, your life can depend on it.....and you can't put a price on that!

With not much to lose and so much to gain if you're still reading 📖 you are probably ready to stop.

If you’re smoking roll ups with no filter it's worse and if you're va**ng, studies aren’t even out yet! 🔬

Don’t make excuses, book in with me for a free consultation and I’ll help you quit for good 🛑

It isn’t magic 🪄
It isn’t woo woo
I won't make you eat a raw onion 🧅
It won't make you cluck like a chicken🐔 (unless you want to)

It can't cure all ills, make you someone different or render you powerless.
In fact, the very opposite is true. With hypnotherapy YOU gain back the control. 💪

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind. Some animals and all humans go in and out of hypnosis throughout the day.
Deep relaxation, day dreaming, even automated driving....we’ve all done it! 🚗

This is where the subconscious mind comes into play. 🧠
And it's the subconscious mind that I speak to when my clients are in a state of hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy is a tool, which when used correctly can empower, reframe and re connect you to your subconscious self. 🔗

Whatever it is you're struggling to gain control over, Hypnotherapy can help:

Weight Loss
Smoking Cessation
Alcohol Reduction
Phobias
Habits
Confidence
Pain management

Forget the stage shows and you can begin to realise that hypnotherapy may be just what you've been looking for ✨

Hello that’s me ⬆️

I’m Lisa and I created Sequoia Therapies in 2013. 

Having used hypnotherapy myself to successfully stop smoking in my 30’s, I’ve developed a keen interest in the power of suggestion and the subconscious mind. 

It fascinated me 😲
At the time, I was convinced that nothing could ever help me. ❌
When the opportunity came to study the subject, I did... 

Since qualifying, I have focused my time on helping others to achieve their goals and transform their lives … and not just with smoking 🚬

Hypnotherapy can help with phobias, habits, healthy eating, alcohol reduction, social media and screen addiction. I can assist with pain management, stress or anxiety related conditions.

With my person-centered approach I recognise that no two people are the same. ⚖️
I always create an individual, personalised therapy plan for my clients to ensure the best possible outcomes ⭐

Whatever it is holding you back or preventing you from making the change, perhaps I can help? 🤔

I’m empathic, compassionate and approachable … If you think I’m the therapist you might like to connect with, message me 😁

Sometimes you find answers in the places you least expect to find them 💕
