Type of Therapy
I practice Brief, Solution Focused Therapy. This means that we are looking for solutions to your issues and working together to allow you to move forwards more positively with your life. Just two or three sessions can make such positive changes.
Over the last 4 years I have had outstanding results with clients suffering from stress, anxiety and panic attacks. The techniques that you learn with me allow you to feel calm and comfortable again. As one person said it is 'probably the best investment I have ever made'.
I have also had great success treating insomnia and sleep issues, enabling people to actually sleep through the night for the first time in years. You will also learn techniques to get back to sleep easily should you wake.
Successfull treatment for weight issues involves increasing your self esteem as well as altering your relationship with food. I have helped many people and feedback is very positive; 'I have already dropped two clothes sizes. I feel very optimistic and I still have a clear image in my mind of the "slim me".
Phobias can be removed in one or two sessions, allowing you to live a more full and varied life. Several clients now board planes with no concerns whilst others face spiders calmly.
With habits such as smoking and drinking your brain has set down strong patterns but working with me you can break these old habits and change your lifestyle, setting up new, healthy paths.
I work with what you bring to the sessions and I love the excitement and satisfaction of seeing the wonderful changes that you can make.
HypnoBirthing - How to give your baby the best start in life.
What if giving birth didn't have to hurt.....?
I am a fully qualified Hypnobirthing practitioner having trained with Jenny Mullen in Northampton in 2005. This method of birthing uses relaxation, self-hypnosis and visualisation techniques to ensure that birthing is the beautiful, peaceful experience that Nature intended. This is the tried and tested Mongan method and is extremely effective.
Hypnobirthing promotes special bonding of mother, baby and birthing companion and eliminates or greatly reduces the need for chemical painkillers. A mother's body is designed to work in harmony with her baby and the techniques you learn allow you to be in deep relaxation during and between uterine surges (contractions), wiping out the myth that pain must accompany birthing. Also HypnoBirthing babies are very calm - a calm birth leads to a calm baby.
What you'll learn through HypnoBirthing is how you can confidently approach a safe, easier and more comfortable natural birth. If it turns out that you are one of the 5% of mothers that do need medical interventions then the HypnoBirthing techniques help you to relax through the procedures and still allow you to feel more in control.
We can't promise you a 'perfect' birth - no one can - but we can promise you a much, much more comfortable and relaxed birth than you would have had otherwise.
HypnoBirthing is recommended by midwives.
Hypnotherapy for Fertility
I am a qualified Hypnofertility Therapist having trained with Lynsi Eastburn who created the HypnoBirthing Fertility Therapist Program. Hypnosis for fertility has been shown to increase conception rates and double the rate of success of IVF treatment.
Studies have shown that 'infertile' women utilising mind/body techniques have a 42-55% conception rate as compared to 20% for those not following these methods. This specialised program is tailored to each individual and couple to increase the likelihood of conception. By using a wide range of therapeutic techniques many ‘blocks’ can be removed, allowing nature to take its course, or increasing the likelihood of a successful fertility treatment cycle.
You have probably gone to considerable lengths to keep your body free of toxins and away from exposure to harmful elements. Why then would you allow destructive habits and thought patterns to damage the fragile environment needed to conceive? Hypnofertility can allow you to turn your inner energy into a powerful, constructive force, it benefits both male and female parents-to-be and is completely safe. It uses no drugs and can safely be used with medical procedures such as IVF, helping those procedures to be more effective for you.
The first stage of treatment is an initial consultation and assessment and then I use this information to create your unique, individual program, consisting of four to six sessions.
My Background
I grew up in the Midlands and went to Sheffield University. After graduation I moved to Cheltenham to do Teacher Training. I began teaching in a secondary school in Bridgwater, Somerset; building up my communication skills and enjoying the experience of helping others. Later I moved into a retail environment in Bristol, becoming interested in photography and computers. I worked for British Aerospace in Bristol in computer support for several years before moving to the south coast and working in Porstmouth and then Chichester.
I currently live in Selsey, West Sussex and I now work full time as a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist having successfully completed the practically based Diploma Course with Uncommon Knowledge in Brighton. I am still amazed at the power of the human mind and the effect that positive thinking has on our bodies and lives. I enjoy seeing the wonderful changes that can be achieved with just one or two Hypnotherapy sessions.
I am also a qualified HypnoBirthing® practitioner, using the Marie Mongan Method for calm, relaxed birthing. In addition I have trained with Lynsi Eastburn to become a HypnoFertility practitioner in order to more fully help couples who are having issues with conception.
I am a member of the General Hypnotherapy Register, a professional body with high standards of conduct.
I am always attending courses to keep myself up to date and widen my knowledge; this year (2009) I took a course on "Understanding and Stopping Addictive Behaviour" with Joe Griffin at MindFields College and a workshop with Pat Williams; "Stories that Heal". I have helped various young people and children with their issues and later this year I am attending a special "Hypnosis with Children Masterclass" with Lynda Hudson in Brighton.
