My approach
Evidence-informed, practical and paced to you.
What hypnosis actually is
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and deep relaxation, much like being absorbed in a book. You are not asleep, and you cannot be made to do anything against your will. I guide, and you remain in control.
Why I combine methods
No single technique suits everyone. Depending on what you need, I draw on:
- Clinical hypnotherapy to calm the body and change automatic reactions
- Behavioural strategies for sleep, informed by my further study, which includes the CBT-I Masterclass with the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute (SCNI), University of Oxford, accredited by the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians
- Trauma-informed techniques that stabilise first, then change how difficult memories are held
- Practical skills and recordings so progress continues between sessions
What you can expect from me
- Honesty about what is likely to help and what is not
- Complete confidentiality
- No pressure to sign up for a long course
- Clear plans and regular reviews of progress
Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy. I do not diagnose medical conditions or advise on medication, and I will always encourage you to speak to your doctor when that is appropriate.
