Solution Focused Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist
How can I help ?
Stress Management
Stress is a general trigger or cause of many many issues and if it is not managed correctly over a long time, it can build up and along the way we will also acquire some primitive ways of coping such as habits and behaviours. Over time, we then feel this is the norm and we find ourselves in a vicious cycle of symptoms versus negative thinking and doing. It affects our bodies in many ways including our sleep patterns.

We use sleep to empty out all the negativity from the day but if we are holding far too much of it, then our brain cannot do its job while we sleep and it will wake us up or prevent us from going to sleep because too much is going on in there. That’s where Solution Focused Hypnotherapy comes in. It will become your best friend. Fun and rewarding is how I describe it because it really is very friendly, no drugs involved, just talking, planning, changing, relaxing deeply and finally living.
Smoking Cessation & Vaping
In simple terms, I do not perform miracles. There are no actual magical spells that can stop you from smoking or vaping. What you do need firstly is to really really want to give up. You have to have 100% commitment or it just will not work. This would be in one session only over about 90mins to 2 hours.

I will take you through the same introduction as other therapy sessions where I will educate you on how the brain works and why that is important to why you are in session. I will then take you through some relaxation/trance techniques and hopefully connect with your sub-conscious. I will ask you to hand over all smoking devices, tools, etc to myself if face to face or if online, to a family member where possible. Total release is required from yourself. The rest is up to you . Stopping something that isnt good for us is always down to our own willpower and determination. What happens after the session does require willpower, determination and dedication on your part. You will get the MP3 recording of mine also to still use at bedtime to help with the process
Phobias
Do you find yourself struggling with an intense fear of something that significantly hinders you from living the fulfilling life you truly desire? Does this fear consistently interfere with your day-to-day social activities, ultimately limiting your ability to pursue what you genuinely want?. Additionally, does it have an impact on those around you, affecting your relationships and their experiences as well?.

Phobias are something we dont always have any explanation for. Some can be the result of something in our past and some are just crazy with no explanation at all. They are however, still in the part of the brain that is primitive and controlled by the old thoughts and behaviours which can be re-trained
Using similar methods that are used in the general sessions with an added technique called rewind and reframe, I will take you into a scenario using visualisation. This technique is very successful and liberating. We need to do 2 sessions to cover the full technique in its stages which need to be a week apart from each other.
Neurodiversity & ADHD
Stress lives in all of us as does anxiety. Anxiety is there to protect us for instance if you saw a Polar bear you would immediately respond with panic, fight flight freeze, palpitations, then run which is the correct response from the brain, job done. So for a neurodiverse person on a day to day basis, its almost like they have a polar bear in the room all day long. Everyone is different of course but for me, its exhausting. Let me explain….
-
I have spent my life feeling like I dont belong in a room with other people. I always felt I was not worthy. I felt like I was being mocked all the time, and just wanted to crawl up in a ball. To combat this, I would go into a room and talk, talk talk, make jokes, try to impress. This was my defense mechanism. This masking is exhausting, overwhelming and extremely stressful. Imagine trying to do that all day every day.
Neurodiverse people need to be at peace with themselves, be stress free, make no apologies and keep that stress bucket empty.
So to summarise, managing the stress is the key and that’s where Solution Focused Hypnotherapy comes in. Talking, planning, changing, relaxing and living the life you deserve.
