Hypnotherapy for Trauma, Grief and Life Changes in Brixton and Online

Sometimes trauma is a single, shocking event. More often I see something quieter: a long run of small, painful experiences, a controlling relationship, a critical parent, years of being the one who copes. I call it death by a thousand cuts. No single moment looks dramatic from the outside, but together they leave you anxious, over-responsible and unsure of your own worth.

Grief and life changes work in a similar way. They do not follow a timetable. Loss can arrive alongside relief, guilt, anger or nothing at all, and all of it is normal.

My approach is trauma-informed, which means safety comes first. We start by building steadiness in your body and your life, so that you have somewhere solid to stand before we look at anything difficult. I draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed work, EFT, EMDR and Havening where they suit you, alongside hypnosis.

IFS is based on a simple idea: we are made up of many parts. There is the part that wants to speak up and the part terrified of the consequences. There is the part that pushes on and the part that is desperate to rest. Some parts carry old pain, and others have taken on jobs to protect you from it. Using trance and guided inner work, we listen to those parts with curiosity and compassion, rather than arguing with them.

You do not need to relive the past or tell me the whole story. We can work with how it feels now. Many clients are surprised by how gentle it is.

Anger is often grief or fear wearing armour. If it is part of your story, we make room for it without letting it run the show. Whether you are rebuilding after a separation, adjusting to a new chapter or finding a way to live with loss, my aim is to help you feel more like yourself again, with more choice about what comes next.
