Maybe you're exhausted but can't switch off.
Maybe your mind seems to have a hundred tabs open all the time.
Maybe you've reached the point where you think, "I can't keep doing this."
Perhaps you've tried to change a habit before and ended up back where you started.
Or maybe you simply don't feel like yourself anymore, but you can't quite put your finger on why.
You don't have to arrive knowing exactly what's wrong.
Sometimes you just know that something needs to be different.
That's where we can start.
I use hypnotherapy as the foundation of my work, bringing in NLP and transformational coaching where appropriate.
Sessions are tailored to you, your situation and what you're hoping to change.
I work with a wide range of concerns, but there are three areas I'm particularly focused on.
“I can't keep doing this.”
You're functioning, but you're running on empty.
You're tired, overwhelmed and finding it harder to switch off. You keep telling yourself you'll slow down when things settle down — but they never seem to.
If you're constantly running on pressure and wondering how long you can keep going, this may be a good place to start.
“I don't want this to control me anymore.”
Maybe you've tried to stop before.
Maybe you can go for days or weeks and then something triggers you back into the old pattern.
Perhaps you're fed up with smoking. Perhaps vaping was meant to be the answer and has simply become another habit you can't seem to shake.
We can look at the habits, triggers and patterns around your smoking or vaping and work towards making a change.
“My brain won't shut up.”
You replay conversations.
You think about what might happen.
Then you think about what might happen after that.
You know you're probably overthinking, but knowing that doesn't make your brain stop.
Perhaps you're anxious. Perhaps you're simply stuck in patterns of thinking that are exhausting you.
We can explore what's going on and work towards giving you more choice in how you respond.
There isn't a standard script that gets pulled out because you've said a particular word.
You're an individual, so your sessions need to make sense for you.
Hypnotherapy is the foundation of my work, but it isn't the only tool in the toolbox.
Depending on what we're working on, I may incorporate approaches such as NLP, transformational coaching, Breathwork, Reiki or HypnoCell® where I feel they may be useful and appropriate.
You don't need to know which approach you need.
That's my job.
We'll talk about what's happening, what you'd like to be different and what may be getting in the way. I'll explain what we're doing and why, so you never have to sit there wondering what's going on.
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention that most people experience in everyday life in one form or another.
You won't be unconscious, asleep or under somebody else's control.
Some people notice a very relaxed feeling.
Some notice their thoughts becoming quieter.
Some feel deeply absorbed in the experience.
And some wonder afterwards:
“Was I actually hypnotised?”
There's no right way to experience it.
You can be curious, sceptical, analytical or somewhere in between.
You don't have to believe anything in particular for us to work together.
Sessions are available online worldwide, as well as in person from my office in Chippenham, Wiltshire.
Online sessions can be just as personal and focused as working together face-to-face, and you can do them from somewhere you're comfortable and won't be interrupted.
You don't have to know exactly what's wrong before you get in touch.
Maybe you know what's bothering you. Maybe things just don't feel right and you can't quite put your finger on why.
Either is fine with me.
It's a chance for us to have a proper conversation — online or in person — and see if we're a good fit.
You can share as much or as little as you like. I'll listen, ask a few questions and get a feel for what's going on and how I may be able to support you.
And I'll be honest with you.
If I think I can help, I'll tell you how. If I think you'd be better off seeing someone else or taking a different route first, I'll tell you that too.
There is zero pressure and no sales pitch.
Once we've chatted, the ball is entirely in your court. I won't chase you for a decision or hound your inbox.
It's your life. It's your call.
