My Approach

I truly believe that amazing changes can happen when we have the opportunity to understand ourselves better. Yet a lot of this knowledge is hidden from our conscious awareness. As a result, we may find ourselves repeating unhelpful behaviours or acting in ways that we don’t fully understand despite our best efforts to change, as our protective responses continue to influence us beneath the surface.

Clinical hypnotherapy is a gentle and effective way of working with these deeper levels of experience.

In a relaxed and focused state of attention, we can access the subconscious mind, the part of us that stores emotional associations, beliefs, memories, and automatic responses. From this place, it becomes possible to explore the origins of certain patterns, strengthen inner resources, and create new ways of responding that feel more aligned with who we are today.

I am deeply influenced by the person-centred philosophy of Carl Rogers and the relational approach of Irvin Yalom. This means that while hypnosis is an important therapeutic tool, I believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship remains central. Feeling heard, understood, accepted, and safe creates the foundation from which deeper work can take place.

I will be holding that space to allow you to explore these difficult parts of your life as these symptoms are often meaningful communications from parts of ourselves that are trying to protect us, adapt, or express unmet needs. I will help you to explore these messages with curiosity for your inner workings rather than judgment. As a clinical hypnotherapist, it is not my role to tell you who you are or what you should do but rather help you access your own inner wisdom, develop greater self-understanding, and discover resources that may already exist within you.

Clinical hypnotherapy can help us move beyond intellectual understanding alone. It allows us to engage both mind and body, conscious and subconscious awareness, creating opportunities for change that feel not only understood, but deeply experienced.
