Counselling

​

When working with many problem areas, there is often a counselling component involved. It is important that I gain insight into the client and their problem(s), but it is also most important for the client to gain insight into themselves and their behaviour(s). I provide a safe and effective environment for this to occur.

 

Stress Management

​

Stress Management is an integral part of all Treatment Programmes.  Some problems have their basis in stress/tension, and for clients, stress/tension is often a contributory factor in their problem.  All clients are taught to work with an easy to learn and highly effective Relaxation Exercise at the beginning of their Treatment Programme and then later on this is enhanced by learning Self-Hypnosis.  All clients work with a Relaxation Recording between clinical sessions, as part of their Programme.

 

Confidence & Self-Esteem Building

​

All clients are provided with Confidence and Self-Esteem building as part of their Programme.  This is very important as for some clients a lack of Self-Esteem and Confidence is the basis for their problems along with Stress/Tension, and for most clients these are contributory factors.  Most of the clients that we work with have a lack of confidence in their ability to change their behaviour(s) and boosting this contributes to their overall success with Hypnotherapy. 

 

Change can be challenging for many people, even wanted change, so a boost in general confidence is helpful.  It has been demonstrated over many years that a combination of a reduction in Stress/Tension along with a boost in Confidence and Self-Esteem, has a beneficial effect on the success of all treatment outcomes. 

 

An increase in Confidence gives clients a belief in their ability to change and this is very important.  Clients are provided with a Hypnosis Confidence Recording that they can use at home between appointments.

 

Self-Hypnosis

​

All clients are taught Self-Hypnosis (apart from young children). 

 

Self-Hypnosis is an important part of every Treatment Programme - not just to provide more rapid and effective behaviour change, but also most importantly, so that my clients can continue to maintain what they have achieved and build on this. 

​
