How I Can Help You

You are and your situation is unique - I treat you as an individual tailoring your therapy to your particular needs.‘

'In dealing with human conditions, the procedure almost always has to be specific, not generalised’ Idries Shah.

I can offer you hypnotherapy counselling and psychotherapy.

I have in depth psychological and medical knowledge that enables me to understand conditions and problems in a way that enhances the therapy.

My work as a therapist is based on my knowledge of people and your own circumstances, taking into account all aspects of what is required to achieve a successful outcome viz:

• the physical/biological
• psychological
• social
• emotional
• neurological

My expertise and skills will help you to resolve your problem.

This involves my being innovative and creative and drawing on different theories of counselling and psychotherapy, rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

I have many years of experience over which I have studied, accessed and built upon psychological principles and techniques.

Be Empowered to deal with your problem

When distressed, under stress or struggling with a difficulty, it is very difficult to think clearly. Thoughts go round and round and you might begin to wonder how you are going to get out of it

I can help you by getting to the nub of the problem and you can think more clearly about it and utilise your inner resources in order to resolve the difficulty.

Learn relaxation techniques and self hypnosis.

Learn Problem Solving and How to Achieve Your Potential.

I help people who have become stuck, want a change or feel they are obstructed in some way from moving on in their life or career. In the field of life coaching it is not about giving advice, but removing the obstructions, and, starting with the present, start to look forward.

You have the resources you need. My job is to Help you Find the Path to Successful Results.

Would you like to know what is happening to you that makes you feel like you do or behave as you do?

There are some things like addictions, phobias and panic attacks that can be explained to you. I can also explain the consequences of obesity and the effect on your organs

I can help you understand what is happening – mentally, physiologically and psychologically. I draw on all of my experiences (my medical knowledge, my psychological knowledge, and specialist training) to assist you

Understanding what you do gives you a fresh outlook on why you do it and makes it much easier to take control.

Every client of mine has been encouraged by being able to understand what is going on and found it more helpful than just being treated for the problem.

As a hypnotherapist I can help you with a wide range of problems and difficulties.

The application of hypnotherapy has great benefits because it can be used to help people who are striving unsuccessfully to find help:-

‘Hypnotherapy is the answer for them because it is short term, safe, practical and effective’

(Tebbetts, C in Hunter R.1997)

As a Human Givens psychotherapist I work with the needs that are not being met in a person’s life, and use techniques and guided imagery in order to help them meet those needs.

As a Counsellor / Psychotherapist I use an eclectic and integrative approach. This means that rather than using one particular theory I use what is useful from various theories. My training for psychotherapy covered different disciplines and theories. Since then I have added to those ideas from other sources, particularly the Human Givens.

For Fast, effective help, I can help you using the Human Givens approach.

Whatever the cause you don’t have to suffer from:

• Depression
• Anxiety and stress
• Panic attacks
• Anger problems
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Phobias
• Low self-esteem
• Relationship problems
• Addiction problems ( all kinds)
• Obsessions
• Poor-concentration
• Self-harming
• Poor sleep.

What are the Human givens?

‘Human givens’ are resources we are all born with, our essential biological and emotional needs and the innate resources that we have evolved in order to fulfil them. When emotional needs are not met or resources used inappropriately we suffer stress, distress and life gets out of balance. Also, those around us are affected. The Human givens approach helps people to get their needs met.
