Specialising in anxiety

Some people don’t realise that most problems are anxiety based.  For instance obsessive compulsive behaviour, post traumatic stress, sleep problems, smoking, addictions and in some cases depression are either anxiety based or co-morbid with anxiety.  Working with a therapist who understands the foundations of how anxiety works is key to help alleviating these problems with lasting results.

Therapeutic toolkit

My toolkit consists of hypnosis, strategic psychotherapy and neuro linguistic programming.  This combination creates a very effective therapeutic tool to resolve most problems. Medication alone isn’t going to stop anxiety based problems because it doesn’t change the way you think, it doesn’t change your unconscious patterns, or give you strategies to help you make the necessary changes.  The style of hypnotherapy that I work with can.

Solution oriented

Strategic hypnotherapy is not talk therapy where clients come to simply talk about their problems.  While this may help clients feel better in the short-term, they will soon go back to how they were originally feeling, because the unconscious patterns haven’t changed.  I ask clients questions they probably haven’t been asked before, and wouldn’t have even considered. As a result they start to see how they have the problem they do.  Then in hypnosis, I provide suggestions to specifically adapt the unhelpful patterns to useful patterns and fill in any unconscious knowledge gaps they have.
