Anxiety can strike when we least expect it and, sadly, does affect even those who feel that they are beyond its controlling grip. It can, and often does, envelop its victim to the extent that even operating at minimal levels of human efficacy can become a challenge beyond our control.

Anxiety is generally caused by conflicts between our conscious and subconscious minds. We may actively want to consciously pursue something we see as meaningful to us yet our subconscious perceives it as a potential threat and thus stimulates our natural flight or fight defence mechanism which can trigger anxiety symptoms and lead to a feeling of despair and being completely overwhelmed. Whilst our subconscious is non-thinking and thus illogical, it is our overall database and contains a lifetime of learned behaviour and basic daily survival concepts. It springs into action when it perceives that danger or threat is nearby and thus creates that conflict.

Hypnotherapy can help in bringing the conscious and subconscious to an ''agreement of sorts'' to face challenges as a collective rather than as sperate entities. The treatment processes are both soothing and gentle and can bring about long lasting healing.

Please feel free to touch base at your convenience and I will guide you through the processes and benefits of the sessions I offer.

Having to go through a transition in life is a topic that is very close to my heart due to having personally experienced a number of events in the past, some of which were unforeseen, hard hitting and life changing. Sometimes life will throw you a curve ball that, no matter what your coping mechanism or ability to get through anything is, you just cannot bat away effectively. Even the ''can do at all costs'' attitude struggles to come to the fore. These events are difficult to comprehend on occasion and can impact us negatively on both a mental and physical capacity. Sometimes the fundamental hurdle to overcoming the event positively is actually recognising that it has happened and why. Letting go of what once was is key to moving forward. That was my challenge, I struggled with that and sought the help that I needed to make the first steps effectively.

Hypnotherapy can assist in reframing your mindset and bring about understanding of what happened, why it did and help to restore emotional balance. The relaxation techniques can help to manage stress and anxiety effectively and regain control of your focus and motivation. It can also help you to regain your confidence and build resilience to finally let go, set realistic and achievable goals and move forward objectively and effectively.

If you are currently going through a phase in your life that you are struggling to understand or come to terms with, please reach out for a chat. I will be happy to share my story and advise on how I can assist you in switching from the perception of gloom and darkness into one of light and positivity.

One of the techniques that we specialise in as therapists is hypnoanalysis. Despite possibly sounding a little intricate, it isn’t. It is a simple yet highly effective therapy that combines hypnosis and psychotherapeutic methodologies.

It is a deep dive into the subconscious to resolve the root cause of emotional stress with the aim of bringing about long lasting transformation and healing rather than merely assisting in managing symptoms of emotion.

Hypnoanalysis strives to identify and release emotions and memories that we sometimes either forget or, on occasion, don’t even know are there. They become repressed, or buried, in our subconscious and can affect the way in which we operate as human beings. It can be highly effective in overcoming unresolved trauma that is deep rooted in past experience.

Check in on your friends. Say hello to a stranger. Sometimes it is the smallest of things that really matter. Not all struggles are visible. More importantly, make sure you take good care of yourself first.

I have recently been seeing a client suffering from anxiety and stress linked to being diagnosed with dyslexia later in life. Whilst curing dyslexia is not within the powers of a hypnotherapist we can however aid them to live more comfortably with it.

Hypnotherapy can do similar for many of the conditions that we suffer with. It is a safe and simple process. If you feel that there is something in your life that limits you in some way, please get in touch for a free and non-obligatory initial chat. I will talk you through the process and benefits and assess whether there is a fit to your challenge.

Have a quick read to gain insight into what hypnosis actually is and what we strive to achieve by using it.

Given what you can see onstage, TV and in film, it is completely understandable when you hear that people feel that hypnosis only ever involves mind control. This couldn’t be further from the truth.Hypnosis is a collaborative process that involves deep relaxation and heightened focus leading to an...

One of the services I am offering is helping to overcome and how best to deal with life transitioning mentally. It is a topic very close to my own heart having personally experienced a number of transitions, some unforeseen, in the past. Sometimes life will throw you a curve ball that, no matter what your coping mechanism or ability is, you just cannot bat away effectively. These events are difficult to comprehend on occasion and can impact us negatively on both a mental and physical capacity. Sometimes the fundamental hurdle to overcoming the event positively is actually recognising it has happened and why. Letting go of what once was is key to moving forward. That was my challenge, I struggled with that.

Hypnotherapy can assist in reframing your mindset and bringing about understanding of what happened and emotionally balancing you. The relaxation techniques can help to manage stress and anxiety effectively and regain control of your focus and motivation. It can also help you to regain your confidence and build resilience to finally let go and move forward objectively and effectively.
