Welcome to my counselling and hypnotherapy service. I offer both hypnotherapy and person centred counselling and you can find information about both these approaches by following the links at the top of this page.

Some people already know before they come whether it is hypnotherapy or counselling they want but I will be happy to discuss this with you. Sometimes a combination of the two may be helpful. Generally speaking, hypnotherapy is particularly helpful for stopping smoking; assisting weight loss; anxiety and stress; fears and phobias; building self confidence; breaking unwanted habits and sleep problems amongst many other things. It is relaxing and pleasant and you can be taught the skills to use on your own. Each initial session comes with a CD to use at home.

Counselling can be helpful in a different way for most of the above and for other emotional difficulties such as depression, bereavement, relationship difficulties, sexuality, early trauma, abuse, etc. Talking through these, and other issues in confidence, with a counsellor who really listens and who endeavours to be wholly non-judgemental can be really helpful. It can be long or short term and works at your pace.
