Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD can significantly affect your daily life, manifesting through flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened anxiety triggered by past traumatic experiences. My integrative approach using therapeutic counselling, clinical hypnotherapy, and EMDR offers a comprehensive way to manage PTSD.
EMDR is particularly effective for PTSD because it helps reprocess traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional charge, allowing you to move forward without being held back by the past.
Therapeutic counselling provides a safe, compassionate space where you can explore and make sense of your trauma, while developing coping strategies to manage your symptoms.
Clinical hypnotherapy complements this by accessing the subconscious mind, helping to shift entrenched negative beliefs or associations tied to trauma, and fostering deep relaxation to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. By combining these approaches, I work with you to lessen the hold PTSD has on your life, helping you regain a sense of control and peace.

Depression often feels like a heavy burden that clouds your thoughts, drains your energy, and isolates you from the things that used to bring you joy. Through therapeutic counselling, I help you explore the underlying causes of your depression, whether they stem from unresolved trauma, difficult life circumstances, or emotional stress. We work together to identify negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier perspectives, while building coping mechanisms to manage low moods.

Weight Management
Weight management often involves more than just physical habits—it’s deeply connected to emotional, psychological, and behavioral factors. Many people struggle with weight due to emotional eating, poor body image, or negative self-beliefs.
Clinical hypnotherapy is particularly beneficial for weight management as it helps address these subconscious patterns that may be sabotaging your efforts. Hypnotherapy can reinforce healthier eating habits, reduce cravings, and shift your relationship with food and exercise to a more balanced and mindful approach.
Therapeutic counselling provides an opportunity to explore the emotional aspects behind your struggles with weight, such as self-esteem issues, past trauma, or feelings of inadequacy. Together, we identify and work through the emotions that contribute to unhealthy behaviors. If past trauma or emotional pain is tied to your weight issues, EMDR can help process those unresolved emotions, removing the blocks that may be preventing you from reaching your goals. This combined approach helps you achieve long-term success in weight management by addressing the root causes, not just the symptoms.
Sleep Disorder
Sleep disorders, whether caused by stress, anxiety, or other underlying issues, can severely impact your physical health and emotional well-being.

Trauma and abuse can have lasting effects on your emotional, psychological, and even physical well-being. Whether the trauma occurred recently or years ago, it can still influence how you feel, think, and behave today.
EMDR is an especially powerful tool for processing traumatic memories without the need for extensive verbal recounting, which can be distressing. It allows you to reprocess the traumatic events in a way that reduces their emotional intensity and impact.

Habit Control
Unwanted habits, such as smoking, overeating, or nail-biting, can feel impossible to break, especially when they're tied to emotional or subconscious triggers.
Clinical hypnotherapy is particularly effective for habit control, as it works directly with the subconscious mind where these behaviors are often rooted. By using hypnotherapy, we can replace the negative behavior patterns with healthier, more constructive habits. Whether you’re looking to quit smoking, reduce alcohol consumption, or manage overeating, hypnotherapy can help reinforce positive changes and diminish cravings.

For habits linked to past trauma or emotional distress, EMDR can help process the underlying issues that might be driving the compulsion, making it easier to break free from these patterns. By integrating these methods, I can support you in taking control of your habits and creating long-lasting change.
Grief & Loss
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and it can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, gone through a breakup, or experienced the end of a significant phase of life, it can be difficult to navigate the complex emotions that arise.
Therapeutic counselling provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore and express your grief. In our sessions, we work through feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, or numbness, and I help you find ways to cope and heal at your own pace.
Clinical hypnotherapy can be helpful in addressing the subconscious emotional pain tied to your grief, offering relaxation and release from the intense emotions that may feel overwhelming. It can also be used to help restore a sense of peace and acceptance as you move through the grieving process. For grief that is complicated by trauma or unresolved emotional wounds, EMDR can assist in processing those painful memories and experiences, allowing you to heal without being held back by past emotional burdens. These integrative approaches support you in finding comfort and strength as you work through your loss.
Phobias
Phobias can significantly affect daily life, causing intense fear and anxiety when confronted with certain objects, situations, or environments, often leading to avoidance behaviours that disrupt normal activities. This can create emotional distress, limit social interactions, and reduce overall quality of life.
Techniques such as integrative therapeutic counselling, clinical hypnotherapy, and EMDR can help by addressing the emotional and psychological roots of the phobia.
Counselling explores the causes and develops coping strategies, hypnotherapy reprogrammes the subconscious mind to reduce fear responses, and EMDR helps desensitise and reprocess distressing memories or triggers, ultimately helping individuals regain control and reduce the impact of their phobia.
