Fears/Phobias
Most fears/phobias stem from a past negative experience that remains ‘stuck’ in the subconscious part of the sufferer’s mind causing them to experience the same fear/panic response whenever they are facing the same or similar event. The list of phobias is endless as are the debilitating feelings of fear and anxiety they can create. Sometimes the fear is so strong it can lead to irrational panic, feelings of helplessness and avoidant behaviours.
During our sessions, I will use a combination of solution-focused techniques and hypnosis to communicate with your subconscious mind to over-ride your long-held phobia template so that in the future you can react in the way that you want to in any given situation leaving you feeling empowered, confident and in control. Phobias I can help with include: needles, flying, public speaking, driving on the motorway, spiders – this list is not finite so please do contact me to discuss help with any fear/phobia that is not listed.
Anxiety/Stress
When anxiety and stress levels escalate they can have a negative impact on family life, our working environment, personal relationships and even our health. The cycle of overthinking/negativity and constant worry that is synonymous with anxiety/stress can lead to depression, IBS, migraines and other issues too numerous to list.
During our sessions, I will use a combination of Psychotherapy, hypnosis and Solution Focused techniques to help you to understand how anxiety is created in your mind, what keeps the cycle going and more importantly what you can do to help yourself overcome it. Solution-focused hypnotherapy can help you to reduce your anxiety/stress, increase your confidence and help you to focus on your future. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a very relaxing and effective way of managing anxiety and stress so that you can take back control of your life.
Depression
Lack of motivation, constant worrying, avoidance of friends/ family and social situations are just some of the common features associated with suffering from depression. Getting out of bed in the morning and facing the day ahead can seem an impossible feat leaving the sufferer feeling overwhelmed, helpless and ashamed. During our sessions, I will use a combination of Psychotherapy and Solution-focused hypnotherapy to help you break the cycle of negative thinking and behaviours. We will work together to help you begin to identify positives in your life, engage in positive thinking/behaviours and shift your focus of attention towards your preferred future.
Low Self Confidence
Perhaps you have a job interview coming up, a driving test or a speech to make at a family wedding? Whatever the occasion, lack of confidence can be crippling and lead to an overwhelming fear of panic and dread. The good news is that Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you to overcome your self-doubts, increase your self-belief and put things into perspective so that you can reach your goals. During your session, I will use Solution Focused Hypnotherapy techniques to help you feel calm, relaxed, focused and confident in your own skills/abilities to achieve any goal you set your mind to.
Smoking Cessation
A one-off appointment lasting between 60 and 120 minutes that could help you to successfully quit smoking for good! During your appointment, I will help you to consider all the reasons why you want to kick the habit and stop smoking. We will also explore the negative impact smoking has had on your life ( and possibly your health) and all the benefits of finally being nicotine-free. The hypnosis part of the session will allow you the opportunity to relax whilst I communicate with your subconscious to reinforce everything we discussed during your session. This will help to increase your self-confidence and belief in your own ability to achieve the wonderful goal of being a non-smoker.
