I offer Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy in relaxed and friendly surroundings. Each therapy session lasts for one hour. Prior to any therapy taking place, there will be a consultation, where we discuss the problems to be resolved and where we can discuss the course of treatment. The aim of therapy is to give you an understanding of the roots or causes of your problems, resolve conflicts and painful issues, so that you may put the past behind you and put all your energy into having a wonderful life. Psychotherapy and hypnosis can help you to achieve positive and lasting results in: CESSATION OF HABITS e.g. smoking, eating disorders and nail biting. MANAGEMENT OF STRESS RELATED DISORDERS e.g. phobias, panic attacks, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) MANAGING PERSONAL CRISES e.g. stress, anxiety, depression. ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH e.g. building self esteem. LESBIAN & GAY AFFIRMATION THERAPY e.g. coming out issues, relationships with other family members, feelings of isolation. HYPNOSIS Medical considerations Few medical conditions contra-indicate the use of hypnosis, though in some cases liaison with the client's medical practitioner may be appropriate. Almost everyone who wishes to be hypnotized can achieve a level of relaxation sufficient to allow therapy to take place. The hypnosis session Generally speaking, during the hypnosis session itself, the client is invited to relax in an armchair or couch and is then guided into a state of deep physical and mental relaxation. In the hypnotic state While in hypnosis, the client is still generally aware of their surroundings and can choose to come out of hypnosis at any time. No responsible therapist would attempt to hypnotize anyone against their will, or encourage an individual to act against their natural inclinations whilst in hypnosis. After the hypnosis session At the end of the hypnosis session, the client will be gently returned to the normal waking state. Most new clients are surprised at how far away the reality of hypnotherapy is from any prior expectation of "mind control", and find the experience deeply relaxing. |
