Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy has had a long history of being an effective method for managing stress and has had a considerable amount of research time invested into it. Hypnosis is essentially a skill of narrowing focus so that full attention can be given to the therapeutic suggestions that the therapist provides. In our hypnotherapy sessions together, you'll learn how to perform and improve this skill and we'll work together on the suggestions that you personally will benefit from. You will always be in control during these sessions and can refuse to accept the suggestions or even stop doing hypnosis at any point.
Hypnosis remains an optional component of this treatment approach, but studies have shown that the addition of hypnosis does improve the effectiveness of therapy.

Mindfulness-based meditation has been used for thousands of years by Buddhist monks to modulate and regulate emotions and sensations. However, it is only in more recent times that these practices have become understood in mainstream science to have therapeutic benefit. Through practicing mindful acts and meditations you'll be more able to gain distance and perspective from your troubles.
Mindfulness approaches in our sessions are introduced gradually as you become more adept at the practice.
