ABOUT COGNITIVE HYPNOTHERAPY:

The science of thought is a wonderful and fascinating thing. We tend to think of our own minds as inscrutable, yet you could be surprised by how straightforward positive change can really be.

If you have an emotion, behaviour or limitation that doesn’t seem congruent with the rest of your personality, then Cognitive Hypnotherapy could be the best way to regain a sense of balance and control over your life.

Cognitive hypnotherapy uses a range techniques, from a variety of different therapies and sciences such as positive psychology, Gestalt, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and traditional hypnotherapy. Everyone is different, so by incorporating all these approaches rather than sticking to a single system, we ensure that the most effective route can be taken with each individual client.

I am a competitive athlete, so I specialise in sports hypnosis (although this is by no means the limit of my practice).

I also teach the CPD course on Sports Hypnosis at the Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy (ICH), London.

ABOUT THE SESSIONS:

Every client (and their issue) is treated differently. What I mean by that is that I treat the individual rather than the problem. We'll all develop our own issues in a way that is particular to us, so I don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. I don't use pre-written scripts as many hypnotherapists do, instead I develop suggestion patterns and processes that are entirely tailor-made for each individual.

HOW I FOUND HYPNOTHERAPY:

I first discovered hypnotherapy as a kickboxer training towards the ISKA World Championships. Although I had previously been pushing myself to train through any illness and injury along the way, chronic fatigue (ME) was giving me serious problems and I was coming back from 6 months off to compete in one last tournament (or so I told myself).

Hypnotherapy not only enabled me to win that tournament, but it really changed my life in many other ways: socially, professionally and athletically, I became a new person after choosing to explore my mental and emotional world.

BECOMING A THERAPIST:

After using hypnosis to such effect in my personal life, I felt that it was an avenue I had to explore professionally. I achieved a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy at the Institute Of Clinical Hypnotherapy in London where I have now been asked to teach the Sports focussed CPD module.

I have also completed a qualification in Sports Hypnosis and graduated from the Quest Institute with a diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapist and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner's Diploma (HPD).
