Services
Clinical Hypnosis
Clinical Hypnosis utilises guided relaxation and focused attention to access subconscious resources for behavioural change. Ideal for stress reduction, phobia management, and habit control, this evidence-based therapy empowers clients to achieve measurable improvements in mental wellbeing through structured sessions tailored to individual needs.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) addresses trauma and PTSD through bilateral stimulation techniques. Designed for individuals experiencing anxiety, flashbacks, or emotional distress from past events, this structured therapy facilitates neural reprocessing to reduce psychological symptoms and promote emotional resilience.
Stress Management
Stress Management programmes combine mindfulness techniques with cognitive strategies to regulate emotional responses. Suitable for high-pressure professionals and anxiety sufferers, this service teaches practical coping mechanisms through both one-to-one sessions and self-guided audio resources to improve daily functioning and sleep quality.
Addiction Therapy
Addiction Therapy specialises in treating substance dependencies and behavioural addictions through integrated counselling approaches. Combining relapse prevention strategies with hypnotherapy, this service supports clients through withdrawal symptoms and addresses underlying psychological triggers to establish sustainable recovery pathways.
Self Hypnosis Resources
Self Hypnosis MP3s and CDs deliver professionally recorded therapeutic sessions for home use. Covering weight management, confidence building, and anxiety relief, these resources provide accessible reinforcement between clinical sessions. Distributed through Waterstones and Amazon, they offer evidence-based support for ongoing personal development.
