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.

Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy can help in many different ways:

• relaxation • assertivness training
• stress/anxiety • weight loss
• performance anxiety• regression (for internal emotional
• habitsstruggles created from past
• stop smokingexperience)
• fears/phobias

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.
