Above all, you remain at the centre of the therapy. My breadth of training gives me different ways of understanding and responding to psychological and emotional difficulties, but these approaches are tools rather than a predetermined programme.

Our work can therefore be predominantly person-centred and exploratory, more structured and goal-focused, incorporate hypnotherapy or mindfulness, or develop dynamically as your needs change. The aim is to create a therapeutic relationship in which you feel heard and understood while supporting greater # Hypnotherapy

I have been practising as a therapist since qualifying as an Advanced Hypnotherapist in 2014. Since then, I have continued to develop my experience and have completed an MSc in Counselling and Positive Psychology, a BSc in Psychology and a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling and Psychotherapy Supervision.

I work dynamically, in accordance with the needs of the client, combining different techniques where appropriate. I have a wealth of experience and therapeutic tools, which allows me to work flexibly and adapt the therapy to the individual.

## How hypnotherapy works

Hypnotherapy uses relaxation and focused attention to help you access your own thoughts, feelings, memories and inner resources. You remain aware and in control throughout the process.

Hypnotherapy can include relaxation, breathing techniques, mindfulness, therapeutic meditation, imagery and positive suggestion. Where appropriate, I can also provide a recording for you to listen to between sessions.

Some hypnotherapy can be more dynamic and exploratory. Depending on your needs, this may include regression, timeline work, inner-child work or hypno-analysis. I may also combine hypnotherapy with elements of NLP, Solution-Focused Therapy or EFT.

I do not use every technique with every person. The work is adapted to you, the issue you bring and what feels most appropriate. We discuss how we will work together, and you remain involved in deciding the direction of the therapy.

Hypnotherapy can be used as a therapy in its own right or combined with counselling and psychotherapy. Some people come with a particular issue they would like to work on, while others want to explore longer-standing feelings, experiences or patterns.

The number of sessions will depend on your individual needs. Some people may benefit from a short course of focused hypnotherapy, often up to six sessions, while others may choose to work for longer.

All sessions are contracted and confidential within the usual professional and legal limits.
