How I can help you ...

---

From my peaceful therapy room in Poringland, I offer a safe, supportive space to help you work through a range of emotional and mental health challenges, including:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Grief and loss

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

• Trauma

• Addictions

• Low self-esteem and self-worth

• Confidence issues

• Negative mindset patterns

• Fears and phobias

I also support individuals who are affected by the mental health struggles of loved ones, helping them find clarity, resilience, and a sense of direction when they feel overwhelmed or alone.

I can use a person- centered counselling approach which was developed by Carl Rogers. With this approach I am led by the clients needs in the session.

This approach can also help you recognise your needs as an individual, find your authentic self, discover your true potential and recognise your self worth.

I will be non-judgemental, empathetic, and genuine in my approach. I can also use a more direct approach in counselling if needed.  

Through talking therapy I can also help you navigate through grief. Grief is something I have experienced recently when losing my dad, so I would love to help you work through it.  

I can also offer walk and talk sessions if you like to be in an open space.  This could be at a place where you feel safe, peaceful and calm. 

What is Hypnotherapy? Hypnosis is an altered state, similar to when you go on a car journey and arrive at the destination thinking, you can't place where the time has gone even though you were present. 

When using Hypnotherapy in a therapeutic use, it is a deeper relaxation state where we we can suggest changes for your unconscious mind to make in a positive way, as we all have our own resources internally, but can need help to find them. 

Most of our behaviours are from our unconscious mind, but we can reprogram those behaviours like installing new programs on a computer. 

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming ) is the language in how we see the world.  NLP is a very powerful system where we can use certain language and questioning to see things in a different way. 

It was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970's. I can use certain questioning and listening to help you change limiting beliefs and changing perspective.

 I can help you eliminate phobias and fears that hold you back in your life, by using the fast phobia cure technique. We see the world with visual, auditory, and Kinesthetic modalities, so what we see, what we hear and what we feel. All these things can be changed to view the world differently.

TFT  (Thought Field Therapy) is a technique developed by an American psychologist called Roger Callahan, where we use the tapping of meridian points to release trapped emotions. 

This can help with trauma, fears and phobias, to release emotions like anxiety, guilt, shame anger, and rage.

I can help coach you into a more positive mindset with goal setting,  and finding purpose through various techniques in a non-judgemental way.  In particular  my area of speciality is men in their 30s and 40s by coaching them to become  better versions of themselves. 

We can use some visualisation, nlp and hypnosis to create a more whole fulfilling life. I can also help you to make better choices for better outcomes moving forward, as we can't change the past but we can change  the future.
