ABOUT MY SERVICES
SOLUTION FOCUSED
HYPNOTHERAPY IN A NUTSHELL
Relaxation techniques that will narrow your focus to enable your therapist to place positive suggestions deep into the unconscious mind. This aids you to change your beliefs and patterns of behaviour that are holding you back.

Why Hypnotherapy ?
HERE ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES I CAN HELP YOU WITH
WHAT I DELIVER
WHY A MINDFULNESS PractiCe COURSE?
Imagine embracing life in the here and now. Stop overthinking about the past or the future. Re-connect with the world around you with complete cognizance of all your senses and without self-judgement. Accepting and dealing with negative thoughts, feelings and emotions without aversion and to seize the day through total awareness, so that you respond rather than react to a situation. My course is a mix of Mindfulness based stress relief and mindfulness based cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT).
MINDFULNESS PRACTICE IN A NUTSHELL
A set of techniques, including meditation that support you to increase your mind and body synergy, which in turn slows down your breathing and teaches you to be more intentionally aware and live in the moment.

Myth Buster No 1.
Although mindfulness meditation has its routes in Buddhism, in fact it has been used by many religions since ancient times. However, it is NOT a religious practice; it is secular. You don’t have to attend a temple, you only need a few minutes day and you can use it whilst going about your daily routine.
Myth Buster No 2.
It might also be described as, “hippy trippy” and not cool but mindfulness is practiced by people of all ages and walks of life. 1 example is in the world of sport, where keeping a calm control and focus is key to success. It is a take-away practice that you can use anytime, anywhere. It teaches you to be kind to yourself and through robust research, many people have stated that it has had life -changing effects on their mental health.
