What to expect

How I work?

I use Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution Focused Hypnotherapy to offer you the opportunity for a therapeutic approach that best suits your needs. I work in a flexible way thinking creatively and reflectively in consideration of your age, gender, sexuality, race and culture, disabilities, religion and spiritual beliefs you identify with.

Approach

I am able to work with you over the short or long term, focusing primarily on present and future-orientated treatment, but with the opportunity to explore your past and how this can programme the conscious and unconscious minds to have a powerful bearing on your life today.

I am a highly experienced clinician with 30 years of continuous experience working within the fields of adult and adolescent mental health and wellbeing in Bristol. 

I am also a qualified and registered Hypnotherapist supporting people to make effective health and wellbeing changes in their lives  inclusive of: Smoking cessation, addiction management, overcoming phobias and anxieties, weight management, personal development and general health improvement strategies.

Hypnosis or relaxation using visualisation is a dynamic and inspiring process that will support more traditional approaches of working leading to powerful positive changes. 

My differing treatment approaches allow me to target these conditions with a range of evidenced based strategies supporting positive outcomes for my clients. I follow the science, but have a holistic mindset that allows for creativity, warmth and empathy. 

Working together

At the initial session together we can work out what issues you want to target allowing you to identify what you would like to achieve in your time working with me.

Summarising:

With so much experience,  I would look to use all, or some, of the approaches that I have previously mentioned, to create a package of tools that will work for you. Everyone responds and benefits from different approaches to therapy. There is no one size fits all, hence the benefit of my experience in a multitude of disciplines.

Conditions and issues I work with, but not exclusively, are:

Anxieties and Fears

Depression and Low mood

Stress management

Panic attacks

ADHD

ASC (Autism)

Obsessive thoughts and compulsive rituals (OCD)
