Why Hypnotherapy?
Bypassing the Critical Mind to Initiate Real Change
Most people come to therapy because they already understand what they are doing and why they are doing it, yet they find themselves unable to stop. Traditional talking therapies like CBT or counselling provide excellent framework and reframing tools, which I also value and use. However, logic alone rarely shifts a deeply rooted habit or a trauma response.
Hypnotherapy allows us to bypass the critical analytical mind and speak directly to the subconscious. This is where your patterns, fears, and beliefs are held. By combining clinical hypnosis with tools like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic bodywork, we don't just talk about change; we initiate it at a cellular and subconscious level.
Why it works:
- Bypasses logic to reach the root cause
- Accesses the subconscious patterns
- Initiates change at a cellular level
"Hypnosis works and the empirical support is unequivocal in that regard. It really does help people."
- Michael Yapko, PhD
A Therapist First, Hypnotherapist Second
I am a therapist first and foremost. While I have over ten years of experience as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I view hypnosis as one powerful tool in an extensive arsenal. My practice is informed by Polyvagal Theory and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), meaning no two sessions are ever the same because no two clients are the same.
Sometimes a session will involve a deep state of trance; other times, we may use EFT (tapping), Havening, or breathwork to regulate your nervous system without any traditional hypnosis at all. This flexibility ensures the therapy adapts to you, rather than forcing you to fit a rigid model. See my Expertise & Specialisms to see how this approach is applied to specific issues.
Value vs Cost
Targeting the root cause leads to faster, more sustainable results than years of talk therapy.
An Investment in Transformation
A common misconception is that specialist therapy is expensive. However, many of my clients come to me after years of traditional counselling, having spent thousands of pounds to achieve "understanding" without "transformation."
My approach is designed to be fast, effective, and lasting. By targeting the subconscious root of the issue, we can often achieve in 6 to 12 sessions what traditional talking therapies may struggle to resolve in years. It is an investment in a shorter, more intensive journey toward becoming a healthier, more resilient version of yourself.
