In therapy, you talk openly about whatever is on your mind. Together we try to figure out where these feelings are coming from and what you can do about it. I’m not going to ask you to lie down or talk about your dreams. I might ask you about your life growing up if it seems relevant. We’ll spend most time working on what’s bothering you day-to-day, because I understand you want to start feeling better as soon as you can.

In couples therapy, I’m not here to judge your relationship or who’s right and who’s wrong. We work to help you both understand yourself. We’ll get out of the focus on the relationship and look at your individual patterns that can clash and tie you up in knots. We’ll work to open up honest and heartfelt communication so you can see and hear each other clearly again.

Therapy can help you understand things better and it also requires you to work. It’s not always easy but we go at the pace that’s right for you. Here’s a description of what the process is like. I use different therapeutic approaches and techniques, depending on what is right for you.

The most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. That’s why it’s important to have a conversation to get a sense of whether we would work well together. So do take that first step and book a call today.

You might feel that you just need a space to work some things out. Maybe you feel stalled on thinking your way through a situation, or your zest or focus isn’t quite as sharp as it was.  Coaching can help to clear your mind, focus on what really matters to you, strengthen your drive to get what you want in this life, and reset your confidence to achieve it. We’ll work within a positive coaching framework so you can track your progress as you move ahead, week by week.

Feel good again with coaching! It’s important to ensure you can make a good connection with your coach, so get in touch to find out.

To use hypnosis skilfully, we start off by understanding the problems that you want to work on then we develop hypnotic suggestions that are meaningful to you. You absorb and use these suggestions to strengthen your resolve and to guide action. For some issues there can be rapid change, but deeper-rooted issues might need a longer period of work with hypnosis as part of a broader therapy process.

Hypnotherapy is an entirely safe and comfortable process but, like any therapy, it is important that you work with someone who is properly trained and qualified. Beyond my training as a psychologist and my current psychotherapy training, I have completed a full diploma in clinical hypnotherapy and am on the General Hypnotherapy Register.
