Services
Hypnosis Therapy
Hypnosis therapy utilises deep relaxation states to access subconscious processes. Our evidence-based approach combines traditional hypnotherapy with modern psychotherapeutic techniques to address habit modification and emotional regulation. Sessions focus on reprogramming negative thought patterns while maintaining full client awareness and control throughout the process.
EFT Tapping
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) employs gentle acupressure point tapping to release emotional blockages. This non-invasive therapy addresses stress-related conditions and PTSD symptoms by combining physical stimulation with cognitive restructuring. Sessions follow structured protocols to target specific emotional triggers while maintaining client comfort and confidentiality.
Counselling
Counselling services focus on current psychological challenges through structured sessions. Utilising person-centred approaches, we address immediate concerns while building practical coping strategies. The therapy integrates elements of cognitive behavioural techniques to promote sustainable positive change and emotional resilience in a supportive environment.

Victoria is just amazing. I went to her initially for one thing but I ended up getting help with a recent bereavement, my struggles at work, self belief...I could go on. I felt very comfortable with her from word go and I honestly Ieft every session with a spring in my step, but more importantly with the tools to deal with anything that life throws at me.

I had 20 sessions with Victoria and covered things like anxiety, fears, trauma, bereavement and phobias. I cannot express just how grateful I am for all the help she has given me. She is kind, thoughtful, tender, understanding and above all extremely professional. She used various techniques and I have found her work to be remarkable and outstanding. I really have been able to overcome so much nos thank you Victoria, forever grateful.

I wasn't sure what to expect from hypnotherapy but I knew I needed help. I felt I had a constant motor running inside of me and couldn't stop shaking! I can't believe how much better I felt after just one session with Victoria. I have now finished my sessions and I feel like a different person - amazing experience and very relaxing. If you are thinking about going take the plunge - I'm so pleased I did. Thank you Victoria.

I came to Victoria regarding an anxiety problem. I own horses and was having difficulty with my nerves riding one of them. I used to shake uncontrollably and cry before I had even attempted to get on. With only a couple of sessions, it had been turned around and I will never forget all that she has done for me. It was so worth it!
