Anxiety/Depression/Phobias

I specialise in helping clients get to the root cause of their Anxiety . Hypnotherapy is a complete  intergrated therapy. Hypnosis is a very powerful way to create a path to your deeper mind . The control room of your body and mind . Where you can idendify negative thought patterns / feelings and replace them with more postive way of thinking and feeling. This will help clients to feel much calmer and confident at a deep level. I have watched many clients over the years become the best version of themselves in a short space of time. The hypnotic state helps clients access their own minds natural antidepressant. Some clients think that they wont be able to relax deep in trance . But usually not the case. Hypnosis is similiar in many ways to meditaion. But its more assertive and actively guides the client into that daydream state. And of course whatever level you start with only gets deeper with practice. Everybody knows how to Daydream .

Our amygdala can store these Anxiety feeling and memories from the past as if it is still happening. Using active hypnotherapy techniques to get the amygdala to let go and put those trauma feeling into the past. Talking can be very helpful, but often not enough on its own. These feelings are trapped, frozen in our reptilian brains. Logic doesn’t really work here, its the emotional brain we need to work with. So I use psycho-sensory techniques to help you reprogramed these feelings combined with elements of talk therapy and CBT.

Sleep disorder is a very common complaint heard in the doctor’s surgery. Hypnosis is a close relative to sleep and is designed to improve your sleeping patterns. Often our minds are busy when we are in bed. Maybe we are over stimulated. I believe we can learn to change this habit. By Calming are thoughts at a subconscious level.  I’ve helped many clients [including myself ] successfuly using hypnosis with their insomnia. Taking charge of our behaviours. Sometimes we have worries on our mind. Often have clients where worries are the real issue,not the insomnia. Sometimes its just a habit. And what your mind has created of course it can undo.

In the last 5 years I have been successfully treating more and more teenagers for issues of Anxiety, stress, low self esteem. Sometimes these issues cause these young clients to miss a lot of school. Parents ask me “do I work with teenager and children, will hypnosis work for someone of that age” I do understand why they ask this. But in my experience Teenagers usually respond quicker than adults. Children can respond very qucikly . As their The teenage years is a great time of neuro plasticity, the brains ability to change. They don’t have the same amount of baggage as an adult. Even though they are suffering they don’t have as much cynicism as us adults. A 15 year will often change their minds so often about their interests. This ability for change can be greatly utilised in therapy.Often the teenage client comes in with the attitude , I’m here to let go of this issue. They often seem to fully engage and respond to the techniques. Even if they’ve been traumatised , their belief in the ability for positive change is very strong. They often expect it to work. Even if they don’t show this at first. They have an incredible ability to create new neural pathways. Of course everyone responds at different rate, no one client is the same . In short the teenage years is a great time for positive change when pointed in the right direction.
