I draw on principles and techniques from CBT within psychotherapy and psychological hypnotherapy to support people with a variety of concerns. The examples below are a starting point rather than a promise of a particular outcome.
I will take time to understand what is happening, what you would like to change and whether my approach is appropriate for you.
Areas of support
Anxiety & stress
When your mind constantly feels switched on, it can be difficult to relax, sleep or enjoy everyday life. We can use CBT-informed techniques and psychological hypnotherapy to develop more helpful responses to anxious thoughts and situations.
Confidence & self-esteem
Self-doubt can affect everything from relationships and work to social situations and the decisions you make. We can work on the thoughts and patterns that undermine your confidence and develop a more positive relationship with yourself.
Fears & phobias
Some fears can feel completely disproportionate to the situation, yet knowing that logically doesn't necessarily make them disappear. We can work on the thoughts, feelings and learned responses associated with particular fears and phobias.
Unwanted habits
Habits can become automatic. Whether it's something you do when you're stressed, bored or tired, changing an established pattern can be difficult. We can explore what maintains the pattern and practise ways to interrupt it.
Sleep
When your mind won't switch off, getting a good night's sleep can become a frustrating cycle. We can work on a calmer bedtime routine and the unhelpful thoughts and associations that may be affecting sleep.
Weight management
Sustainable weight management is about more than willpower. We can use psychological hypnotherapy alongside CBT-informed techniques to explore behaviours, habits and emotional triggers around food and support healthier choices.
Exam & performance anxiety
We can work on managing anxious thoughts and building a calmer, more focused response before exams, auditions, interviews and other high-pressure situations.
Public speaking
We can work with the thoughts and physical responses that can make speaking in front of others feel overwhelming, and build confidence for presentations and conversations.
Motivation & mindset
We can explore the patterns that keep you stuck and develop a clearer, more constructive approach to goals and change.
Relaxation & emotional wellbeing
We can create space to slow down, manage everyday pressure and practise calmer ways of responding.
