About me
I trained with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis in 2002 gaining my certificate, diploma and practitioner diploma. I am a full member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis and registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register. I believe there is always more to learn and am continually updating my skills, after six years of part-time study I completed a BSc (Hons) Psychology in 2010.
Techniques I utilise within a hypnotherapeutic environment include:
EFT (emotional freedom technique) - An incredible process based on the energy meridian points of the body, similar to acupuncture but using finger taps instead of needles. Very powerful for releasing blocked emotions and facilitating major changes. User friendly so that it can be done at home to give the client back control.
EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) - A powerful tool for releasing and treating trauma using eye movements, utilising left-right stimulation of the brain. Blocked information that has not been processed properly can be released, treated and re-integrated without the previously distressing content.
What to expect from your session...
After an initial consultation on the telephone you will come for an appointment. A typical first session would last for 1 1/2 hours where a detailed history can be obtained. Aside from hypnosis I may use EFT (emotional freedom technique) or EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) according to what type of issues need to be addressed. Your treatment will be tailored to you as an individual - this is not a one size fits all therapy.
During hypnosis you may experience:
According to what you have come to therapy for I may give you homework. This may mean listening to a CD I have tailored to you or practicing self hypnosis. There may be some anxiety stopping techniques to practice or journal writing.
After the first session I will typically talk to you on the telephone to monitor your progress and get any feedback from you. I am available for support between sessions if required by telephone, email or text.
This is a brief therapy - designed to put you in control of your emotions and enabling you to learn to help yourself. My intention is not to keep you locked into lengthy and expensive therapy strategies but to give you the tools and the confidence to help yourself.
I believe Clinical Hypnotherapy to be the best solution focused therapy there is. It is completely natural, safe and gentle with no harmful side effects.
