How I can help

Solution Focused Psychotherapy uses talking therapy and clinical hypnosis to focus on solutions and what you want to achieve for your future, rather than what has happened in the past. 
What would be better if your problems improved? 
What would have changed if you woke up tomorrow and your life was the way you wanted it?
Hypnosis is a completely natural trance state, which we will all enter several times each day without necessarily noticing.  No one can be hypnotised against their will and despite what is sometimes on television, I cannot make a person do anything that they do not want to.  During hypnosis you are aware of everything around you and you remain in complete control.  It is simply a deep state of trance/relaxation, similar to daydreaming or meditation. 
We all have the necessary skills and strength within us to achieve everything we wish to in life.  Whatever it is you would like to achieve, we will work together to reach your goals, help you find happiness and feel like you again.

Self Esteem and Confidence

If you find you are lacking confidence, struggling with self esteem, or just don't feel like yourself, we will work together to replace any negative thoughts and feelings that may be holding you back.  Making positive changes to build a calmer, happier future.

Exam, interview or presentation nerves

Many people experience a level of stress and anxiety around exams, important interviews, presentations or public speaking.  Psychotherapy can help increase confidence and lower anxiety, giving you the tools to be at your best and stay calm under pressure.

Struggling with sleep

Sleep plays a huge role in healing us both mentally and physically, so whether you aren't getting enough sleep, waking up during the night, or sleeping too much, it can lead to other symptoms and difficulties.  Solution Focused Psychotherapy can help you to relax physically and mentally and work to improve your sleep patterns.

Pain management

Are you suffering with short term or long term pain?  By looking at the way our mind responds to pain, focusing on relaxation and changing the thought patterns related to pain, we can make a huge difference, and also help to reduce any associated stress or anxiety.

Want to feel like you again?

If you just want to feel like you again, or you are struggling with negative, recurring thoughts, I can help you to get back to yourself, focus on positive thoughts and behaviours, and find your happiness.
