Counselling
Counselling
can help with a wide range of difficulties such as stress, depression, general
anxieties, loss and bereavement, relationship issues, work issues, self image
and identity issues and adjustment to life changes.
As your therapist
I can help facilitate change by creating a safe environment for you to clarify
your thoughts and express your feelings. I work by trying my best to understand
you and how you are feeling at this present moment. By doing this we will learn
to understand the gradually unfolding themes in your life that leave you feeling
the way you do. I will give you plenty of room to explore your feelings and thoughts
in your own terms.
I consider myself to be an integrative therapist and
I have studied the 'Relational Approach' to therapy. I draw upon two major theoretical
schools of thought – the 'person centred approach' and the 'psychodynamic'
– which I use as a framework for my practice to develop an understanding
of the relationship and its development.

Hypnosis
is a naturally occurring state that can happen to us several times in a day, i.e.
when our attention is focused on something to the exclusion of all other things.
It is a state which contains unique physiological characteristics, but resembles
sleep only superficially as individuals under hypnosis will retain a level of
awareness. (You will always be in control.)
Hypnosis means by-passing
the conscious (critical facility) part of our mind to communicate directly with
the unconscious which is responsible for creating our unwanted drives and behaviours.
By incorporating theory from other psychological schools of thought, hypnosis
has become a more powerful tool for dealing with psychological and behavioural
difficulties. For further information or to arrange
